Central Building Crew
Central's Building Crew keeps our facility ready and looking its best all year, especially during the busy Christmas season. Help other volunteers and staff set up and take down risers, move furniture in the sanctuary, and do simple maintenance tasks.
Sunday Worship Usher
Ushers are the patrons of hospitality, helping to ensure members and visitors have all that they need to enjoy a positive worship experience—distributing bulletins, assisting guests, collecting offering, and supporting the efforts of staff.
Sunday Coffee Maker & Servers
These hospitality volunteers help create a fellowship experience for Sunday worship members and guests. Coffee makers help prepare refreshments before worship services while coffee servers serve coffee and cookies after worship during the fellowship hour.

Children and Youth Ministry at Central is booming, and we need some extra hands and hearts. If you are willing to donate some time on Sunday mornings (even just once a quarter), and for other special events, our young people will be cared for and loved.
