Serve on a Team
Church happens when people serve. Here at Sonrise, we want everyone serving in their sweet spot. Whether you want to welcome guests, work with kids, or help out behind the scenes, God can use your gifts and talents to build His church.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
— Matthew 5:16
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
— Acts 1:8
