Ministries
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45
Just as Christ came not to be served, but to serve, ministries are places you can use your God-given gifts and abilities to serve and encourage, while getting to know others in the church. Although sign-ups are done at the beginning of each semester, you are welcome to join at any time. Email the listed ministry leader for details.
To sign up for a ministry please email the ministry head listed below*.
*For the fall semester: Freshmen are asked to wait one semester before joining any ministries.
