Called to Serve the Church

“The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” ~ Ephesians 4:11

Our community of faith is where we gather each week to worship God and to study, pray, and serve together. Just as Jesus maintained a core community we too must help to nourish our faith community. How might you be called to contribute?
