Community Ministry Opportunities
Community Ministries is students serving Christ through their hands and feet. It is an opportunity for us to be obedient in taking the message of God’s love and forgiveness to Rome and Floyd County. The needs abound as students give of their time and talents to serve. Community ministries help us to be transformed in the image of Christ.
