Volunteer

At Christ Church, our desire is for you to discover your God-given gifts and abilities and use them to make an impact in reaching others for Christ. Whatever your background, professional experience, or interests, there is a place at Christ Church for you to serve and make a difference in others' lives.

To serve as a volunteer or to get more details on any ministry area, please email Jackie Daniel, Director of Volunteer Ministries, or contact her at the Mt.View campus (828) 294-6858 ext.217.

First Serve
Start Here!  Most of the areas on this page offer “first serve” volunteer opportunities; places you can try out serving without making a team commitment up front.

If, after trying it, you love it and feel energized about serving in that capacity we will gladly sign you up.  But if you decide that particular area is not what jazzes you, than you are free to try something else until we find the spot where you are excited to be serving!
