Serve Our Congregation

BETHANY VOLUNTEERS!

1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

At Bethany we believe that through volunteerism we are responding to and acknowledging that we have been given particular gifts and those gift should be shared with others. Our Ministries depend on volunteers who feel called and able to fulfill these commitments alongside all other happenings in our lives and not in a way that feels burdensome.

We encourage you to pray for ways that your gifts could fulfill a need of the Bethany Community. We have a variety of ways to volunteer whether its weekly monthly or yearly OR whether its with people property or grounds. Whether it's on our campus or in the community, we value your gifts and time and are here to help you discover where those gifts can create the greatest impact on your Bethany Community.
