Gifts & Abilities
Everyone at Mount Calvary has something to offer. Maybe it's a skill you've had for years. Maybe it's something you've never tried but always wanted to. Either way, there's a place for you here.
Below are all the ways you can get involved. Pick anything that sounds fun, interesting, or meaningful, and a team leader will reach out to answer your questions and help you find the right fit.
No experience needed. Training is always provided. (Some roles working with kids or money do require a background check — your team leader will let you know if that applies.)
