God has gifted each of us with something unique to offer, and our church is strengthened every time someone shares their time, talents, or compassion. If you’ve felt even a small tug to get involved, this is a wonderful moment to say “yes.”
There are many ways to serve — some big, some small, all meaningful. Your willingness can make a real difference in someone’s life and in the life of our church family. I would love to help you find a place to serve.
Our current needs include:
  • Seder Meal Volunteers  - Thursday, April 2, 2026
  • KIDS HOPE USA - Prayer Partner Coordinator
