Serve in the Church and in the Community

Congregational Care Ministers | Ongoing
Become a Congregational Care Minister! We walk alongside others going through a difficult season through prayer (by email, by phone, and in-person), by visiting those in the hospital, or by offering a listening ear to those hurting. If you would like to be a friend to others in one or all these ways, we'd love to connect you with our teams. We will offer Congregational Care Ministry training in the spring of 2025. 
Contact Rev. Ryan Trushenski.

Hospitality Team | Monthly
Are you interested in serving as a Sunday morning greeter, helping with refreshments in the
Gathering Room, or assisting in worship as an usher? The Hospitality Team may be just the
serving opportunity you’ve been looking for and we’re ready for you to join!

Prayer Team Member | Weekly 
Looking for a work-from-home opportunity?  Join the prayer team as we pray over the concerns submitted to the church online, during worship, or in person.  Each week, prayer team members receive an email with prayer concerns and a request to pray daily or as appropriate.  Your prayers will be a blessing to others.
