Serve at Chelten
Volunteer with a team and learn about other outreach opportunities.
Saved people serve people. At Chelten, we have the opportunity to develop and use the gifts God has given us to meet the needs of others. From helping out with Kidz Korner to running the sound board during a worship service, there are plenty of opportunities for people with all sorts of skills, personalities, and availability to plug in at Chelten.
