After Worship, the service begins . . .

We believe that our faith should make a difference in our lives and the world in which we live. Our members and friends engage Waukesha, and beyond, through our involvement in a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. Here are a few:

SERVE

We filled stock boxes for the Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee and distribute food at the Waukesha Food Pantry.

TEACH

Our youth partner with area special needs students to teach home baking skills.

PARTNER

We partnered with SALS Recovery to hold a Community Picnic to raise awareness of opioid addiction and support a treatment program.
