Join our Teams!
Worship can happen in so many ways, giving financially, singing, prayer, silence and serving. Becoming a member of a team is part of our worship as we jump into the shared life of God’s Church. We love to watch people’s vocations unfold and to support new leaders in all areas of Church ministry. Below is more info on being part of our teams in Marchwood and Eling Parish.
