Serve in 2016
"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."-Martin Luther King

If you can lend your gifts to Children's Ministries in 2016, we would love to talk with you. We have great opportunities to make a difference as a small group shepherd (11 a.m.), greeter (11 a.m.), 3-4-K Coordinator (9:30 a.m.) or as a VBS volunteer. Contact Meagan, Kristin, or Melissa today!
