Ministry Teams

Ministry team involvement is one way to contribute to the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our church. We are eager to help you find a place to serve, so please contact the church for further details.

Because church membership is required for serving on a ministry team, we invite you to contact the church receptionist if you are not a member for more information about our church or the New Members Class.
