Serving Others.... your opportunity for service.

Our church family is very active in many facets of the church. There are many opportunities to share your gifts in service to God and others here. If you find something on this list that you are interested in, contact the appropriate person. Most committees meet in the Williams Building on the first Wednesday night of each month. A meal is served at 6:30 p.m. and the meetings begin at 7:00 p.m.

committeeLike good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power for ever and ever.
Amen. ~ 1 Peter 4:10-11

Jesus doesn't ask for volunteers, He calls us to be servants.
