In the United Methodist Church the largest and most extensive ministry belongs to the Laity. You are the team that does God’s work in the world. Your pastors and program directors understand one of their responsibilities is to give ministry away! This is what it means to equip others.
Please take a moment to review the PDF “Every_Member_in_Ministry”
Here is some advice to get started: Print out this PDF, fill out the section that interests you, write in your name and contact information, then mail it in or just drop it off in the office next time you’re here.
You’re ready, willing and able, but don’t know where to begin? Check out the Programs or the Ministries sections. If you have a specific skill or handy task you’d like to contribute, you can serve our church or community by volunteering.
Some Special Volunteer opportunities are currently before us:
