Volunteer
Each of us has spiritual gifts, unique talents, skills and experiences. Each of us has a necessary and important role to play in a thriving, growing spiritual community. Some may greet, some may serve food, some may teach, some may pray. But each and every person (and every act of service) builds up Christ Church and, in a larger sense, the Kingdom of God.
Please note that volunteering requires faithfulness. Some teams (i.e. Intercession, Meals on Wheels, Adopt a Student) function outside of Sunday services. Many teams require you to be at a Sunday service a minimum of one Sunday per month. Wherever you volunteer, remember that others will be depending upon you.
Christ Church is grateful and appreciative to all those who serve. Thank you for your service!
Christ Church Opportunities for Service
Review our service opportunities and submit your interests using our online volunteer form. Once submitted, the team leader(s) will contact you with additional information.
You may also print the volunteer form and place it in the Volunteer Mailbox on the Welcome Table or mail it to the church office. You can also make an appointment with Alfred Sawyer to discuss your service options or to address your volunteering questions.
