Meet our Ministry Team

Paul says in Romans 12: “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Every person that serves our church body is important, from our Pastor to our willing and kind-hearted volunteers. Here we've listed a few of those.

It was the church being the hands and feet of Jesus." As the Pastor of Rejoice, he hopes that you will find we are a group of people that are open about our struggles, our hope, and our faith in Christ.
