Ministry Teams


When we started the preview services in September it was "all hands on deck" every service for all our our volunteers. It has been an effective way to get things started, to figure out how to do things, and to build the team and moral. In through this season we've been fine tuning our

Ministry Teams.

Now it's time to take it to the next level, expand the Ministry Teams to a rotation model, and start meeting weekly- January 6th!

And while we can't offer our worship service without the Ministry Teams, we are designing them to do much more than a job. We want them to build
connections...relationships...community.
A group of people that have a common purpose, a common place, and common interests. A natural gathering of people to do so much more than just a job.

SO if you reading this and you've attended Connections, please consider joining a team.
If you're a supporter, please keep us in your prayers as we get people plugged in.
Even at this stage of development we require 34 people PLUS our worship team.
