Serving Teams

Serving Teams

“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord.” 1 Corinthians 12:4 & 5.  All kinds of service are important and valuable within the church body. You can love God and love others by being a part of a serving team.
