Do you want to find a place to serve, but don’t know where to start?
-
Are you hesitant to make a long term commitment because you don’t know if it would be a good fit?
-
What if you could “test drive” a ministry opportunity?
A firstSERVE opportunity is a one-time, no obligation serving experience meant to give you a first-hand experience of that ministry area, followed by a purposeful conversation with the ministry leader. They will talk with you about what you liked and didn’t like, as well as help you decide if you want to join the team for a season or look into another firstSERVE that might fit you better.
Below are some firstSERVE opportunities at CCCov and in the community. After finding one or two you would like to try, complete the online firstSERVE Form and we will be in touch with you! If you have any questions about any firstSERVE, feel free to connect with the corresponding ministry leader.
Thank you for your desire to serve others with a firstSERVE!
