Volunteer Opportunities
We need volunteers for all sorts of roles. Volunteers assist in a number of ministries, including:
Food Service:
Our Dining Hall is one of the central hubs of campus. Volunteers in this area serve by punching meal tickets, helping with food prep in the kitchen, and helping in our Dining Hall by cleaning before and after meals, assisting guests as needed, and being a smiling face to greet guests.
Outlets:
Clouds Coffee Shop and Nibble Nook (our ice cream shop and grill) are popular places for guests to fellowship. Serving in these areas looks like making coffee drinks, scooping ice cream, running a cash register, assisting guests, as well as keeping work and fellowship areas neat and tidy.
Guest Spaces/Laundry:
With so many guests on campus, our Guest Spaces team stays busy preparing comfortable, inviting rooms. Volunteers serve in these areas by helping fold laundry, vacuuming, and flipping rooms for the next guest.
Grounds/Landscaping:
Our Grounds Team works hard to keep our campus clean and beautiful. Volunteers who serve in Grounds can expect to help with weeding, watering, and general maintenance of our campus landscaping.
If you are interested in serving in any of these roles, connect with us today to get started.
