Safe Sanctuary
On behalf of the Church of the Master Staff, thank you for answering the call to be a volunteer with our Children, Youth, or Older/Vulnerable Adult programming. We could not meet the spiritual needs of these ministry groups without volunteers like you! As you work through the training sessions, please reach out to your age level program staff if you have questions. We look forward to having you part of our age level ministry programs. We pray that you will find blessings as you give others the gifts of your time and talents on behalf of our Creator.
