‘Opportunties to Serve – A purpose for everyone’

In a church the size of Newtownbreda help is always needed to support the numerous ministries and activities.

It is our goal to provide a role or task for every person attending the Church who seeks an opportunity to serve God. When you use your gifts and passions to serve, it honours God and allows the church to thrive. From welcoming guests to helping with children and teens, to working with your hands and much more, there’s a place for your unique contribution.  When you step up to serve, He can use you in ways you never expected.  If you are interested any of these opportunities see the contact person listed.
