Worship Ministries
For every Sunday of worship, there are over 35 volunteers who provide hospitality, prepare the altar, lead and serve in worship. The roles are simple, but the work is meaningful, as we gather together and offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God. Worship ministries are a great way to get involved, even if you're new to the community, or have never served in worship before.
