What: The Shower Ministry offers hospitality and care to members of our community by providing access to showers, toiletries, towels, clean clothing resources, and a welcoming place to be seen and known. More than meeting a physical need, this ministry creates opportunities for connection, compassion, and restoring a sense of dignity.

How You Can Serve: Volunteers work in teams to welcome guests, help with check-in, prepare towel bundles, refresh showers between guests, offer supplies and resources, and assist with opening or closing tasks.

Time Commitment: Serve as often as works for your schedule. Volunteer shifts are typically 2-4 hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Fridays. Sign up to serve regularly; or as a sub when regularly scheduled volunteers are unable due to illness, vacations, or other unexpected events. (We always need subs!)

Who: Anyone with a welcoming spirit and a heart for hospitality. This ministry isn't about staying busy every minute—it's about being present. There is little to no heavy-lifting, and plenty of downtime during each shift, making it accessible for volunteers with physical limitations or anyone looking to connect with both our church family and the wider community. Volunteer presence ensures this vital
ministry remains available to those who rely on it.

It is also important to note that while volunteers occasionally need to hold a firm boundary with a guest, you are never expected to handle difficult situations alone. Church leadership is always in the building to provide support, and local law enforcement is highly responsive if assistance is ever needed.
