Our Vision
The vision of Fifth Church is to be an attractive and inviting community that brings people who are presently on the outside into life-changing relationships with Jesus and His followers. We are doing this by updating our current facilities and launching a new congregation.

Opportunities to Serve

Summer Nursery Help
We are looking for summer helpers (especially in July and August) in the nursery. If you think you can help in this important ministry, please sign up for a Sunday in the church lobby or call the office at 245-9247. We need at least three people for each week.

 

Garden Team
The Garden Team has made amazing progress renovating several of the garden beds around church. Thank you for donating perennial plants that are now growing around church! Now that the LONG, cold winter days are behind us we are getting ready for this next growing season. We invite you to join the fun by grabbing a shovel and garden gloves and help us beautify the beds. Any volunteer is welcome, for any length of time. Please contact Lori Kane.

Diaper & Formula Coupons
The Women's Leadership Team would like to invite all the women of Fifth to help our young mother by collecting diaper and formula coupons for them to use. The coupons can be placed in a marked basket in the nursery.

Use Your Gifts!
Contact the church office or Bruce Mulder for additional opportunities to serve.


 

 

Inter-Faith Hospitality Network
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the great team of people who enabled Fifth to once again successfully host the Inter-faith Hospitality Network families (IHN). Together we provided over 110 meals, washed over 20 loads of laundry, logged over 30 hours of worker power in set-up, tear-down, and clean-up, and over 150 hours in the over-night hosting of our guests.
Who can count up the additional hours spent buying groceries, installing a converter box for the week's use, locating, transporting and hooking up a washer/dryer set, preparing the meals, redecorating the Green House kitchen, (it looks so cheerful!) and setting up activities to engage the children, eight of whom were between the ages of 8 and 12. Who but the Lord knows the hours spent in prayer for the safety and success of our guests this week that they were with us, as well as for the health of our workers. Thank you, Fifth Church, for providing a wide and rich base of support from which we can draw when these weeks of service come around. May you all be blessed for being such a blessing!
