Lots of Volunteer Opportunities at Elim
Have you noticed that the people handing you a bulletin, helping with communion, reading the lessons and working in the kitchen on Sunday mornings? These are our dedicated worship helper volunteers! They all love their jobs but they would also love to have a few more volunteers so that they don’t have to do it every week. And it's fun to be part of the team that makes our worship services happen. And there are many other jobs available as well.
Volunteer Here! Become a Volunteer at ElimVolunteering a great way to get involved at Elim. God gave each of us unique talents and skills and using them at your church brings you closer to other people, brings a feeling of satisfaction as you help others and helps make Elim a better place. There are many ways to serve; check out the form below to find the right place for you!
