Called to Serve

One of the key tenets of the Reformed faith is that we are called for service as well as salvation. God calls us to serve, giving us gifts and talents to share with the world.

One of the ways we share our gifts and talents is through the church’s many ministries. We invite you to consider your gifts and talents, your interests and passions, and then fill out this survey.

During worship on May 11th—Pentecost Sunday—everyone will be invited to bring their survey forward to symbolize the offering of our lives to God’s service.

Once the survey is received, you will be contacted so that you can get started!

Thank you for answering the call and sharing your gifts.
