Get Involved or Volunteer
Jesus welcomed everyone, whether they were rich or poor; self-made or educated; popular or a loner; secure or full of doubts. HVUC prides itself on welcoming everyone the way Jesus did, regardless of age, race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or physical ability.
There is so much happening at our church and something for everyone to participate in. Do you like singing, hiking, volunteering, cooking, learning, reading, knitting, decorating, socializing, or building and fixing things?
If you are new to the area, or new to the idea of being part of a church community, we'd love to speak with you. We can surely match up your interests and talents with a dynamic group that would welcome you with open arms. Don't be shy...we are so pleased that you have taken that first step and we are here to guide and support you. For information, please call the church office at 416.231.2263
