Opportunities To Serve

Welcome > Ministries > Worship > Opportunities To Serve

"Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."
-
1 Corinthians 12:7.

Each Christian is gifted by God for the benefit of fellow believers and for the growth of the kingdom of God. Each Christian is encouraged to share those gifts (or talents) so that, together, the Body of Christ might function as God intends.

This is an on-line way to use your gifts and volunteer for a some of our on-going ministries at Holy Cross. By checking each box, you are simply indicating your interest in that area of service, not necessarily signing up. We use this tool to give your name to leaders in charge of the area of interest to you. They will contact you as they have need, and you may respond according to your circumstances at that time. Our goal is to help you find your unique place in the body of Christ at Holy Cross. We will contact you before you are assigned some task or responsibility.

If you have questions about any of these ministries, please feel free to contact us at hclc@hclc.in.lcms.org
