Serve

If we’ve learned anything in the last year it’s that a strong community makes a big difference. And the same is true for our church family. We’ve seen it happen again and again: when each person pitches in to do what they can, our church thrives. We’ve got plenty of places to serve and teams that not only will help make ELC the awesome place it is, but a spot for you to get connected and build relationships as well. Our ministry teams are the backbone around here and provide a place to grow in friendships and your faith. There’s a team for everyone…now just pick one and join one!
