Serving in Worship

Looking to get more involved in worship? Our church community thrives because of people who share the gifts of time and hospitality.

Whether you can serve infrequently or are ready to step into a more regular role, there are many opportunities to make a meaningful impact, meet new people, and grow in your faith. No matter your interests or schedule, there’s a place for you to get involved.

Read about the opportunities below and join our pool of voluteers who make this place tick. The buttons will direct to you a sign-up form or to email the coordinator for that area.

For general inquiries or to chat about the greatest needs, contact our Worship Council Chair, Betty Cowden, at ehcowden@gmail.com.
