- Be a catalyst for our mission to the community, interested in people of all-ages, and able to nurture growth in our church.

We can offer you:
- A small team of dedicated church members who all play our part in the mission and ministry of our church;
- An ethos motivated by the compassion and love of Jesus where all are welcome, and where we go the extra mile to serve the needs of our community.
