Serving
There are many different ways to serve.
Volunteers are a vital part of our church community
Gathering – Going – Growing : God has given each of us unique gifts and abilities, and there are many different ways to serve in our church community to suit your practical and spiritual gifts. Below are some of the most common areas in which you can serve at MDMC. If you are interested in serving on one of these teams (or in another area not listed) please talk to Rev Mark or one of the stewards.
