Serving Our Community
Volunteering in 2017: Looking to get more connected at City Church in 2017? Volunteering during our worship services is a wonderful way to both serve the church and get to know new people. Over the next few weeks our Ministry Team Leaders will begin putting together our volunteer rotation for February-May of 2017. In an effort to help them streamline this process a bit, we wanted to give you the opportunity to go ahead and sign up for the team(s) you'd like to join. Volunteer opportunities are: nursery, children's worship, music, sound board, welcome team, facilities team, prayer team, and our communion bread team. Please use this link to sign up! Once you've signed up, we will pass your information along to the appropriate team leader., and he/she will be in touch!
Have a great week!
