COUNT ME IN!

At Grace Community Church, volunteer teams allow us to participate in the mission of the church by using our God-given abilities to serve others. Volunteering is instrumental to growing our faith and building relationships. It’s also a lot of fun!

We invite you to get involved with one of our gTeams listed below. There is something for everyone, and your help will make a huge difference. Volunteer once a month, or as often as your schedule allows.
