Serving the Community: Volunteer Locally

Every follower of Jesus has a role in God’s life-changing work all around us, right where we live and work. Mission is more than simply writing a check or signing up for another church activity; mission is about becoming a person who is meaningfully engaged in the community as a follower of Jesus.

Through hands-on experiences, learning opportunities, personal equipping, and strategic partnerships, we are committed to developing people who will in turn make a lasting difference in individual lives and in society for God’s glory.

Ongoing Opportunities
We support a variety of ministry partners in our local community. Serving opportunities are grouped in three areas listed below. Click on an icon that looks interesting to you, and explore the different ministries according to your gifts and availability. 

Schools and Tutoring Schools and Tutoring
Do the educational inequalities between the underserved and our own affluent school districts distress you, but you're not sure what to do? Come alongside a student, teacher, or classroom, where you can make a difference.
   
At Risk Children and Adults At Risk Children and Adults
Does your heart break for children who are falling through the cracks in our high-achieving culture, or for lonely, isolated adults with no social safety net? Bring much-needed hope through your gifts of encouragement, mercy, or evangelism.
   
Hunger and Homeless Hunger and Homelessness
Have you ever walked by a homeless person and thought, "That could be me?" Activate your compassion by providing for practical needs, while also imparting dignity, worth, and God's love.

Start with one opportunity, and if it isn't a good fit, you can always investigate something else.  Sometimes, you just need to try something.  If you get stuck and can't decide, just ask for assistance from one of our Ministry Consultants, who will be happy to meet with you at your convenience to help you sort through your options.
