Volunteers

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”  1 Peter 4:10

Volunteers are treasures from heaven and the key to this ministry!  Morningside is a community that understands the value of time from someone that truly has a heart for Jesus and the desire to use their gifts for the Lord.

Morningside has been blessed with amazing, quality, gifted volunteers from all over the country!  There are countless ways for people of all ages and skills to help! Many plan their vacations around coming here to assist with special events or just to enjoy working side by side with our church family. We need and pray for people who have a deep desire for loving Jesus with their service! With 42 departments at Morningside, there are countless opportunities to share your unique gift and heart!

If you wish to become a volunteer we would love to talk to you! Your time and gifts are priceless, God bless you for considering sharing them with us!
