HANDYMAN SERVICE TEAM

The Diaconate of AVPC has created a new mercy ministry opportunity called the Handyman Service Team. We seek to focus God’s love and Christ’s compassion upon the church body in a tangible way. This team is comprised of volunteers within our church body who are willing and able to use their spiritual gifts, talents, skills, and time, to assist members who are unable to complete small tasks around their homes. We invite both men and women, youth and adults to volunteer for this Team and to serve as you can and as you feel you are called.

LADIES SPRING BIBLE STUDY

The Gospel of Mark paints an important portrait of Jesus as Israel's promised Messiah.
