Be The Church

MissionGathering Volunteer Opportunities

At MissionGathering, we believe that everyone in the community is important and has something to offer to the people of the church and the larger community of San Diego. The work that we have been called to as a church is bigger than just a few people can do, so we need the skills, minds, hands, ideas, and prayers of everyone who calls MissionGathering home.

Listed below are some of the many ways you can get involved.
