Serve
We value community at LifePoint, and our volunteers are a huge part of that community. Our volunteers are the ones that make our services possible. Without a dedicated group of volunteers, we couldn’t live out the values and mission we hold to here at LifePoint. LifePoint strives to make serving as a volunteer not only possible and plausible, but enjoyable and enriching. We know that serving God and others brings a new depth to an individual’s faith that cannot be overlooked. It is our sincere hope to create an environment that serving is not viewed as an obligation, but an opportunity. If you’re ready to get involved in helping God change lives, please take a look at our service opportunities and let us know where you fit it!
