Serve Team opportunities

So many ways to serve!  Checking a box does not obligate you in any way, but gives you the chance to learn more.  You can go on a no-obligation "ride along" to observe the team in action.  You will be fully trained before you are launched.  We are all about serving in TEAMS, never alone!

No space is too large or too small! Home hosts are the heart and soul of our LifeGroup ministry. It is so special to get to gather in homes to grow in friendship and study the Word together. All you have to do is provide the space. Thank you for your hospitality!

If you are interested in leading discussions or learning how to better facilitate Bible study discussions, we want to get you involved! We have a variety of resources and training available to assist you in leading a LifeGroup. Signing up for this doesn't obligate you into leading a group sooner than you feel prepared, but it lets us know that you are interested in finding out more about what leading groups looks like.
