As a church that believes in wide-eyed participation, we want to give you as many opportunities as possible to come alongside Jesus in the journey of reconciliation. That's why we offer weekly Do Some Good opportunities.

Please don't feel pressure to participate in everything, but we do hope that these posts give you an opportunity to plug in and serve the community at your capacity.
