Volunteer in Our Worship Life

The richness of our worship together depends upon all of us playing a role, as called and as possible. We have serving opportunities for every personality, skill set, season, and schedule. No matter your age and stage of life, you bring something special to our church family. Volunteers may serve by welcoming visitors, tending the altar, reading during the service, supporting the clergy, or working on our tech team. If you are looking for ways to connect with parish members and share your gifts with the community, we welcome your service!
