Service Opportunities
We’re looking for people who want to make a difference on Sunday mornings at C3! Right now, we need ushers, greeters, safety team members, and tech volunteers to help create a welcoming, smooth, and safe experience for everyone who walks through our doors. We’re also looking for teachers to serve in our toddler and nursery classrooms, helping our youngest ones learn and grow. Each of these roles plays a vital part in making C3 feel like home. And if you see something happening around C3 that you’d love to be part of - reach out! There’s room to get involved in every area of ministry.
