We Need You!

Volunteers are an important part of making intentional learning experiences happen within and beyond the classroom walls. There are many ways to be involved at all levels of time and commitment. Whether you can help regularly, visit to share a special passion, lend a hand behind the scenes, there's a way for you to be involved. We need all different people and skills: those with vision and big ideas, those who want to work with kids or those who would rather not, and those who can help with small but important tasks. 

Take a minute to complete this form to share your time and talent to support our faith development program.
