Ministry Teams are simply Christ-Followers choosing to use their interests, talents and abilities to serve in various capacities both inside the Church/church building and/or outside the walls of the church in the community. The mission of each team is to connect with other Christ-Followers, propel personal, spiritual growth and reach out by exhibiting the love of Jesus, all through volunteering and acts of service.
