What would happen - to our church and our communities - if everyone at GOCC got involved serving other people through our God-given talents and passions? What impact could we have on the lives of everyone we encountered?
- A corporate executive volunteers in the Nursery so that parents of infants can attend worship services where they will hear the message of God's love without interruption.
- A retired couple volunteers in a local Literacy program teaching English as a second language. As they begin to form relationships, they have the opportunity to share about God.
- A stay-at-home mother volunteers in the First Impressions Ministry welcoming new people with a warm smile and an open door. This first impression makes people feel comfortable about attending our church for the first time.
- A teenager volunteers in a local homeless shelter meeting the physical needs of individuals so that the chaplain can meet their spiritual needs.
- A whole church volunteers to paint an elderly woman’s house because she can't afford to hire a local contractor.
We are created to join God on a mission. We are called to change lives, and, in the process, have our lives changed. Our hope is that you discover opportunities for you to roll up your sleeves and get involved in serving God and serving people. This is what you were made for!
