Children, Youth, & Family

Serve With CYF

Serve with CYF

Serve with CYF

Volunteers of all ages and abilities make every one of our programs possible! We need volunteers to help lead small groups, work on special projects, maintain worship bags, and so much more. Service opportunities are also a great way to fulfill NHS hours and other school or organization requirements for service.

If none of the service options below work for your schedule or abilities, contact Kelsey Young to discuss other opportunities, and check back often for more ways to get involved!

Service Opportunities

Serving with CYF during the program year is a fun and creative way to share your faith with others, live out your calling to be a part of God’s great work, and connect and grow in your own faith!
