Volunteers
Our team of volunteers is composed of an amazing group of people. On the following pages you will find descriptions of what each volunteer position entails, the impact it makes upon Elements and the contact info for getting involved. It is important to us that you understand without our volunteers we would not exist. We understand that every participant in Elements is at differing stages of their spiritual journeys. Some individuals are evaluating God and the church trying to determine if it’s right for them. Others have reached the conclusion they want to follow Christ and build community within Elements. In the mean time, others have decided to fully commit themselves to serving God through the various volunteer teams. We certainly appreciate the people God has lead to volunteer with us. If you are interested in becoming part of the team…
