Ministries Support - Volunteers

Volunteers are needed to carry out all aspects of the Church of the Advocates work including preserving its history and carrying out its ministries. Volunteers can help by providing assistance on an ongoing, one-time or once in a while basis. Volunteers help prepare and serve food for the Soup Kitchen. Groups of volunteers can donate, prepare and serve food for holiday meals for the hungry. Families, congregations and other groups can work together on a project such as painting a room used by our youth program or serving meals on a special occasion. There are opportunities to work with children and youth including assisting in our after school and summer programs.
