Ministry Teams

We conduct much of our ministry through teams, under the assumption that God wants us to do things together as a body of Christ rather than individuals (see 1 Corinthians 12: 12-31). These are not just glorified committees, but acts of service done together among friends in Jesus’ name. Are you interested in serving alongside us?

Two things to know: 1) You do not have to be a church member to join a team. 2) We want you to find a team that best suits your giftedness, personality, and availability. This may mean creating a new team! Not sure what’s the best fit? Start with a spiritual gift assessment!
