Everyone brings something valuable to the community. Serving as a volunteer at UMCE is one of the ways we build relationships, discover our gifts, and make a difference together.
Together, our UMCE Volunteers:
Make Sundays Happen - Worship, hospitality, music, technology, and children's ministry.
Make Community Happen - Fellowship, congregational care, event help, and behind-the-scenes support.
Make Good Things Happen - Outreach, service projects, and opportunities to care for our neighbors.
Good things are happening at UMCE, and we could use a few more helping hands! Take a look at these opportunities and see where your gifts might fit.
