VBS Volunteer Team
This year’s VBS is going to be so much fun, but it’s YOU who will make it GREAT! We’re looking for CREW leaders (grade 6-Adult), decorators (the week before), photographers, snack organizers, games, elementary storytime leader, preschool storytime leader, elementary STEM and preschool craft leader. It’s all prepped so it’s easy for you to step in and say, “YES!”
Be sure to check in with Lisa Hieber, our Director of VBS, for any questions.

Sanctuary Care Crew
We have several incredible teams of members that rotate different jobs throughout each month to keep our Sanctuary and the surrounding area clean and ready for worship in our most sacred space. Recently, one of our teams had to step down from running the floor machine, dry mop, and dusting. If you're interested in being part of this amazing set of people who care for God's house behind the scenes, either email our coordinators, Devon & Alicia Weaver HERE or fill out the form through the button below.
