Volunteer to Serve
Serve
"[Jesus] did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”Matthew 20:28
By volunteering our time to serve, we are being the hands and feet of Jesus in our church, our community, and our world. Volunteer to serve and help make a impact for Christ in our community!
