Convergence occurs as we all step into our place of serving, giving, and releasing the gifts that God has given to us. From leading ministry groups, to administrative help, to caring for the building and grounds, we could not accomplish the things we are called to in the kingdom of God without the heartfelt help of those who constantly give and serve.
We would like to take this moment to extend a HUGE thank you to each and every one of you who serve behind the scenes, week in and week out to help extend the love of God to those around us. What we experience here at Convergence would not be possible without you!
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact volunteer@convergencechurch.com to find out areas that you can serve.
