Church Volunteers
Volunteering can be your most rewarding experience.
Christians understand that we are called to serve one another as Jesus served others. Volunteering at MBC offers a very special opportunity to use your time and talents to give back to the ministry and church community.
Being a part of Murdock Baptist Church is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Volunteering enables you to help enrich the community with your skills and experience and grow deeper in your relationship with God. And it presents you with a unique opportunity to teach – and learn. Consider joining us to see how you can make a difference.
We are thankful for all our volunteers. We’ve highlighted just a few of our volunteers below.
