Volunteer
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is a powerful way to serve others, support those in need, and strengthen out community. Whether you can commit regularly or help occasionally, your time and skills make a real difference. Join us in bringing hope and practical assistance to those who need it most.
Volunteer opportunities at The Willows Community Church
Introducing young people to Jesus is one of the greatest joys you’ll ever experience. The kids ministry is looking for volunteers of all kinds: from baby cuddling in the nursery, to cut & paste with the preschoolers, silly games & bible stories with primary kids, and deep questions with the tweens.
The classes have both lead teachers and support helpers so anyone can participate. No previous training is required, but all volunteers will participate in the child worker screening process, safety checks & training videos required by The Salvation Army.
In early December each year, we organize and operate the annual Santa Shuffle in Langley (www.santashuffle.ca). This is part of a long-standing partnership between The Salvation Army and The Running Room to host a fun-run in locations across Canada, with the funds raised in Langley being used to support ongoing community programming and support at our Family Life Centre.
Every year we need people who are willing to volunteer a few hours and help with the running of the event; from helping serve a pancake breakfast for participants, assisting with set-up and tear-down, or helping direct runners along the route as a race marshal.
There are a variety of ways to serve in hospitality from preparing the coffee & tea for a Sunday church service, helping to serve food & refreshments at our Family Life Centre programs, to greeting and answering questions for newcomers. The payoff is a warm, friendly environment where everyone feels welcome and cared for.
