About the Placement:

Elmvale Community Church is a small church with a desire to make a big impact.  It has a family atmosphere and we focus on relationships with each other and having a lot of fun.  You will be embraced as family and welcomed into community with us.  Our church desires to follow the way of Jesus by meeting the real needs of our community.  This has led us to running a free clothing store (Sharewear), hosting summer Soccer Camp, having community youth group, and beginning new initiatives such as an after-school kids club and opening an apartment to a family in need.

About the Task:

As an Impacter with us, you will be involved in all of the above, as well as helping with church ministry.  Because we are a small church your role is really meaningful with us.  Your gifts,  perspective and ideas will be valued as we work closely together to love our community.
