Serve
What is a volunteer?
Volunteers are people who partner with our ministry and take great pleasure in opening the way for others to experience Jesus. Every Christ Follower is uniquely gifted by God and vital to the health and effectiveness of Christ’s body. Volunteers see and serve the people they encounter through our church and the community. Here at First, we strive towards utilizing every available means to reach a city, the nation, and the world.
