Volunteer Connect

Volunteer Connect (or VolCon) is a committee dedicated to connecting members with the various volunteer opportunities at our church.

"Each one should use whatever gift (they) have received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms...if anyone serves, they should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”        1 Peter 4:10-11
