Volunteers

We value volunteers. There is no other way to say it. We are grateful for all that they do to further our mission and help us achieve our vision under God.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak to some of the Divisional team about the value of volunteering as part of the discipleship journey. We can point to real stories of transformation in our Corps where people have been through our services, and then started volunteering as a stage on their spiritual journey. Or they have started with us as volunteers and then been staff, or come to church and come to faith.

Today, I was able to meet with the volunteer coordinator for Marion Council. Our hope is that we will be able to partner in providing volunteering opportunities. The relationships we have we council often open doors for us in the community as well.
