While being in worship is wonderful and a first step, you are also invited when you're ready to find a way to serve the Lord through Wright! We would be so excited to serve Jesus with you.
According to the Bible, God saved each of us by faith for something more than being a by-stander in life. Jesus saved you and me for serving in good deeds. Scripture talks about in places like Romans 12:1 and Ephesians 2:10 in the Bible. The Lord strengthens each one to try using your unique personal giftings and talents to help others. There's a saying, about serving in something (be it greeting, VBS, small groups, whatever), 'where God guides, God provides.' That is true.
There are a bunch of ways to connect and use your gifting and talents from the Lord (1st Corinthians 12; or Romans 12:4-8; or Ephesians 4).
See you Sundays at 10:15 am with us! You are personally invited then also to check out some ways you might serve the Lord. As the Holy Spirit works in every Christian, so at some level, volunteering you are a part of the team here, serving Jesus in your area and beyond. Prayerfully consider over time, what might be your strengths and gifting from the Lord? Some ideas and highlights are listed on this page. It's not an exhaustive list of options, but a way of brainstorming. God Bless.
As a church, we value a vibrant walk with the Lord Jesus, and the presence of God's people. Plus this lets any Christian to create a legacy beyond just our own needs.

The first steps can be the toughest in life, in a job, a relationship, a place to live. However, in the walk of faith with Jesus, the Lord rewards your steps of faith, to live for Him. That's exciting. I hope you can join us as a church to make a difference.
There are so many ways to connect listed above. Just let us know what area you may want to volunteer in through Wright.
Some may also have any interest in Drums, or Instruments. Some might be able to run a Video camera. Some might love helping with crafts, or local missions.
Some love encouraging people, perhaps using that gift in a small group. So on.
There is a place to serve. Just let us know your talents and gifting, you won't be disappointed in ways to connect. There are dozens of ways to do so, as the Lord leads you.
The disciples of Jesus did not overnight just grow strong. It was a path, a way, a journey. So too in our lives.
Perhaps the Lord is leading you to step out to grow in a talent, used unto Him?
In summary, if God guides, God provides. We'll trust Him together.
