Whether it's cleaning our cherished spaces for worship, learning and mission or prepping rooms for special events, this person plays a direct role in elevating everything we do together. If you are curious about how your gifts - or someone you know - may build up our church family, reach out to Pastor Lawrence or the church office today!
