Ministry Areas

These are the various areas where we have identified ministry opportunities, but don't think that you are limited to these.  We encourage people to discover whatever area they are best suited for service.  If we don't have it, maybe God's calling you to start it.  Read through them and when you find one or two that you're interested in, be sure to fill out an Ministry Interest Card on Sunday morning.  You can find them at the information tables.
