Get Involved – Contribute Time

Most of our volunteers are regular Sunday worshippers. We have many committees with countless volunteers: worship, property, personnel, communications, UCW, AOTS, and many others. But even if you can't make it to church every Sunday - no problem! Jesus never held regular Sunday services, so you can contribute your time to the church community in other ways. You can plant gardens and maintain them, cut grass, paint rooms, or polish the pews. You can help out in the office, fold newsletters, do mail runs or take phone messages. Outside the church itself, you are very welcome to join us in working on behalf of the world in our community – feeding the homeless, preparing Christmas stockings, helping with the gleaning program, or joining in debate on important issues.
