Ministries
Where do I go to serve?
There are numerous ways that you can get involved at New Community—on a regular basis and periodically. All of our Ministry Teams are looking for dedicated and reliable volunteers. If you are passionate about serving, please contact our church office or visit our website for email information for each team leader. So much happens during the week, and we wouldn’t want you to miss anything! Again, if you are ready to get involved and use those gifts God instilled in you, or if you’d like to serve in ways outside of those listed, contact us at the office.
If you aren’t sure what you spiritual gifts are, there are classes throughout the year which are designed to help you figure them out. But you can still get involved! After all, nothing shows us what gifts we have like experience. Learn your gifts while you serve.
