VOLUNTEER ON A SUNDAY
BREWARDS
We believe there are many ways to connect with others, and one of the best ways is over a good cup of coffee. Our "brewardship" team (or baristas) are responsible for brewing drip coffe and preparing espresso beverages during our weekly "Sip & Share" time before service. Contact Paige Schaefer if you would like to join the team.
GENEROUS LIVING & PRAYER
Generous Living Moments remind our community of ways that we can be holistically generous, not just with our money, but in every aspect of our lives. Our congregational prayer time affirms our calling to center prayer as an essential practice of our faith. If you feel called to share a GLM during service, please contact Pastor Alexander.
SERVE OUR COMMUNITY
GREEN TEAM
The church is called to care not just for people, but for all of creation. We have partnered with Nazarenes for Creation Care to become a certified Eco-Church. If you have creative ideas to help our church become more ecologically friendly, or if you want to join our Green Team, please contact Pastor Alexander.
OPEN CAFE HOURS
An extension of our Brewardship ministry, our Open Cafe hours provide a third space in our community for students and community members to drink coffee, work, and fellowship in a safe environment. Please reach out to Paige Schaefer if you would like to participate, and see our calendar for the next open cafe!
