Mission Volunteers
We need volunteers to work with local mission churches to help reach people for Christ through Vacation Bible Schools, Sports Camps, and other various work projects. Contact Paul Bennett at paul@southmain.org.
Office and Facilities Volunteers
Sometimes we need someone to fill in with reception work. That would include answering phones and greeting visitors.
Occasionally there’s a need to help prepare large bulk mailings.
We also have many years of sermons and music programs on cassette tapes that need to be digitized. To preserve history we need to do this before they deteriorate. We have the equipment set-up at a vacant desk. If you can use a computer, you can digitize. This will be a long project but with the help of occasional volunteers we can accomplish this task.

Someone to take over the maintenance of the fish aquarium in Preschool area
