Church is all about the people - coming together to worship our God, serving people, and ministering to people's needs in various ways. We are blessed with lots of opportunities to use our gifts for the Lord’s service from playing and singing in the band, to working with the children and youth; practical help like serving coffee and running the A/V, to pastoring and teaching the bible in a range of small groups. Whatever your gifts, we know there’s a part you can play in the family.
Would you like to volunteer?
Church activities and ministries are now running fully, with post-covid lockdowns and restrictions. There is a great need for people to volunteer, with most roles being on a rota. Training is provided, you would most likely be working alongside others, plus it's a great opportunity to meet people. Please read our Volunteering at PBC Guide here.
