Have you been part of our church community for a while, but aren’t sure how to get involved?

Are you wondering whether there’s a place for someone like you to serve? The answer is yes! If you have a heart to serve and a desire to be part of what God is doing here, we welcome you to step in and make a difference. No matter your experience, there’s a place for you. 

Learn more about the many opportunities to serve.

 

We gently encourage you to remember St Columba in your will or estate plans. Bequests – no matter the size – can help us realize our visions for ministry and mission. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to talk to Caleb. Thank you for your faithful support.
