It takes an army to be able to open the doors on Sunday morning and hold worship for so many members and guests. Serving others is a key part of following Jesus. When we serve, we are able to influence others. If you would like to grow in your relationship with Jesus, one way you can do that is by serving. Asbury has many opportunities to get started and you can serve as little as two Sundays a month. Below are Asbury s critical serving needs: AsburyKids Kindergarten - 2nd Grade Volunteers at 11 am - Serving kindergarten through 2nd graders by playing with them, assisting with a lesson and craft provided, and getting to know them by leading a small group time. 3rd-5th Grade Volunteers at 11 am - Serving 3rd 5th graders by playing with them, assisting with a lesson and craft provided, and getting to know them by leading a small group time.
