Our Ministries provide opportunities to do everything from teaching a Sunday School class to helping with the maintenance of our building. Everything we do is for the purpose of supporting or maintaining ministries that reach lost people with the Gospel, make disciples of Jesus Christ, and fulfill the 5 Purposes of the Church. We could not do these things without our amazing Volunteers!
