Chair Team
Ensuring we have a proper place for everyone to sit during the worship experiences is important to us. We also love the flexibility of our Worship Center to be a large, open space for group meetings and activities. That means we need agile volunteers to help us make sure the chairs in the Worship Center are in place when they need to be and removed when they're not needed. This ministry is great for people who:
- Have the agility to lift and move stacks of chairs
- Are available on Sunday mornings
