Activists and Activities
at Christ Covenant
Note: For opportunities to serve, scan the list below for people to contact in particular fields of helping, and visit our service opportunities page.
We at Christ Covenant believe that all members of the body are called to contribute to the whole. The Church's teachers are given, in part, to equip the saints for the work of ministry ("service"), so that the body of Christ is built up through the equipping provided by each member (Ephesians 4.11-16). At CCC, there are a host of people who do all sorts of things behind the scenes, and even if we could identify each of them with all of their various contributions, we would essentially be giving a complete membership list!
Nonetheless, alongside our ordained leadership team, there are certain key people who serve in roles which help make our worship services and other public events what they are. Knowing who some of these people are may help you know who to contact should you wish to take advantage of a service opportunity.
