LifeGroup Liaisons: Our Women’s Liaisons represent the Women’s Ministry within our LifeGroups. Liaisons keep women informed about what is going on in Women’s Ministry and keep our women resourced with the latest study and discipleship materials. Liaisons find ways to incorporate Bible Study into the rhythm of their group and use our study materials to invite others in to learn together.

Mentoring and Discipleship Volunteers: You don’t have to be old and wise to disciple someone. If you are interested, we’ll train and equip you to be a difference-maker in another woman’s life.

Office: From time to time we have some projects that require additional help. If you would be willing to volunteer in the office during those times, give us your name and we’ll put you on the list.
