Volunteer Opportunities
God gives us many gifts and as a church we joyfully work together to worship, learn, and grow. There are many ways in which you can join in the work that Jesus Christ is doing here with us. We need your help and we hope that you will joyfully and prayerfully consider joining in the work of God's church.
Help us as we worship! Sign up here to be a lay reader to share God's word with us in worship as you read scripture on Sundays. Materials and information will be sent to you for the week that you sign up.
Help us as we learn! Sign up here to help support the great work of our Sunday School teachers and be a shepherd in our Sunday School classrooms.
Help us as we grow! Sign up here to help teach our children about faithful worship during Junior Church. As you sign up for this important ministry, rest assured that an easy to follow curriculum and lesson supplies are already in place for you.
Thank you for sharing your gifts with the church!
One Worship Service on Sunday, April 2nd
We will hold only one worship service at 11:00 a.m. next Sunday, April 2nd as  many of our members will be attending the church retreat at Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, NC.
Wednesday Night Fellowship
About a year ago, many of our Wednesday Night Fellowship participants filled out a community health survey sponsored by Healthy Cabarrus.  On March 29th, we will host representatives from Healthy Cabarrus who will present the findings of that survey as well as share information about initiatives and programs intended to address the identified health concerns of Cabarrus County.  Please join us for dinner and conversation about the health needs of our community as well as way we might respond as disciples of Christ.   Peter Bynum's Deuteronomy Bible Study will also meet.
Menu: Montreal chicken, cassoulet (beans with ham and bacon), brussel sprouts, salad, fruit, and dessert. Note: no separate kids menu will be served on this night.
