Volunteer Opportunities Abound!

We have the most amazing congregation here at La Casa de Cristo who give selflessly of their time, talents, and treasure. Thank you for always stepping up to serve at many of the worship services, events, dinners, memorials, and even at off-campus events. Each year we have volunteers who go to camp with our middle schoolers, Royal Family Kids Camp, and others participate in so many outreach opportunities.

If you've wanted to get involved, but haven't gotten your 'toes wet' yet, there are once-a-week, or once-a-month, and even once-a-year service ops that we would like you to know about. "In my experience, and I'm sure most who volunteer will agree, being part of a team builds friendships which bless each member as well as those you are serving." Nancy

Explore our website to see where you might use your gifts! Under the 'SERVE' tab, which you can access here, there is a list with a variety of ways to serve. Even if you are homebound, you can be a member of the prayer team! If you have a smart phone/tablet/computer, you receive a daily email with the prayer requests of the church. It is one of the best ways to serve!
