Ministry Opportunities
The beauty of the church is seen when the congregation recognizes their gifts and is equipped to serve the world. By connecting the passions and gifts of our members, we have been able to impact Sauk Valley and the world for Christ. We hope that you can find ministry opportunities for you to serve on or a team that can minister to you.
If you are passionate about a ministry that isn’t offered yet, please contact the church office. We would love to equip you to serve where God is leading you. Also, if you are wanting more information about a Ministry Team contact the Church Office or go to our Ministry Team Wall for more information.
