Volunteer Work

Giving of one's time and talent to help another blesses both the giver and the receiver. The Mission exists by the grace of God and the generosity of the local community; both in financial support and volunteerism. There are opportunities in almost every area of the ministry

Volunteers come from all walks of life, bringing with them their individual talents and unique life experiences. Professionals and retirees can find much enjoyment and satisfaction in long- or short-term volunteer opportunities.

How to Volunteer

There are many ways in which you or your group can make a difference. The process is simple – come see us. Schedule a tour and let the witness of The Mission touch your heart. Then we will work with you to develop a program that blesses all.
