VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

"FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE..." mARK 10:45

Are You Interested in Volunteering? 

GIVE of ourselves in service to God and others. 
Giving of ourselves is a fundamental value that reflects the teachings of Jesus, who dedicated His life to serving others. By following His example, we are called to offer our time, talents, and resources in service to God and those around us. This selflessness not only strengthens our communities but also deepens our spiritual connection, as we embody Jesus’ love and compassion in our daily lives. When we give of ourselves, we contribute to a world that thrives on empathy and kindness, fulfilling our purpose as followers of Jesus.
