HOW TO HELP
BUILDING UP OUR TEAM
Do you have a musical gift to share? Full music in worship will be coming soon so consider getting involved in our Worship and Arts Ministry. We’re now recruiting musicians and singers for Contemporary worship (9 a.m.) and Traditional worship chancel choir (11 a.m.). Contact Lane Davis for more information.

Not so musically talented but want to be involved in the production side? Suzy is looking for helpers to run the soundboard, lights, and/or screens for in-person services. Join her on a Sunday morning to shadow her and learn the ropes. Contact Suzy to sign up or get more info.
