Sound Volunteer Needed
We are in need of two volunteers to run sound in our 8:45AM and 10:00AM Traditional Services. We are looking for volunteers to help us for just one hour on Sundays, and the best part is that you can come with your family to the Traditional Service you already regularly attend and then leave after. Plus, all training is provided! Please email Pastor Jacob below if you are interested in helping us with.
Important Outreach Needs
