First Serve, are one-time service opportunities offered at a variety of times, designed to tap into a wide range of your skills and areas of interest.  The key to First Serve is this:  Come once and check it out - there are NO strings attached. Just check out the list of current opportunities below!

Some First Serve opportunities will require a phone call ahead of time, but many allow potential volunteers to just show up. When you call the team leader, you will be told where to meet, and be assured that an experienced volunteer will greet you, help you get involved, and then serve alongside you.

At the end of your First Serve experience, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to assess your volunteer experience.

We are here to come alongside you in this journey. If you need assistance with any of these First Serve opportunities, please call Pastor Tom at (908) 821-9700 x266.
