TEAMMATE​

Teammates are individuals who engage with the church on a volunteer basis. They are invested in helping out in various areas, whether it’s assisting during services, events, or outreach. This stage represents those who want to make a difference but haven’t yet stepped into a committed role. They’re the hands and feet that help build the community.
TEAM COORDINATOR​

Team Coordinators are volunteers who have taken a developmental step by guiding and mentoring others in the volunteer community. They lead teams, coordinate efforts, and offer support to those under their care. They demonstrate a deeper commitment to the church's mission and vision, making their role essential to sustaining a vibrant, well-organized community.
TEAM LEADS​
