VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Service opportunities in our church are far more than just volunteering or pitching in to help out. We believe that service is a form of spiritual practice. It is the way we honor, serve and express the highest part of our self, which is Spirit. Service in our church is an important and integral part of our spiritual journey.
