Areas of Service
As a church family, we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the people near to us and half a world away. By doing so, we live out our faith and reflect the love of Jesus to a world in need.
We do our best to create teams of people who serve together regularly doing something they are passionate about. We offer a Gifted to Serve Class a couple times a year, where discovering your spiritual gifts and passions can help you find your “best fit” place of ministry service.
