Volunteer with Children, Youth, and Family Ministry

Overview
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!
