Many roles within the church are fulfilled by volunteers. Indeed the church could not function without them. They include leadership roles, office roles, children’s workers, worship team, stewards as well as many others. This policy provides guidelines for all volunteers. We recognise the valuable contribution volunteers make to enable the vision and values of the church.
