Make a Difference

Our belief is that as people choose to serve, whether in our church, in our local community, or around the world, the impact of that service will change lives—for those serving, for the people they serve, and even for those who see them giving their time to help someone else.

It takes all of us together to make the bridge function — from children to youth to adults – from people to property.  Are you willing to help? The opportunities are as diverse as the people who attend.
