GET INVOLVED
We believe that church is so much more than somewhere people visit each Sunday. We feel strongly that at the centre of church is community, and at the heart of community is service. Whatever you are passionate about, wherever your skill set lies, there are things that you can get involved with, which contribute to the life of Resound.
Whether it’s serving coffee, welcoming people, being in the worship team or helping to run a children’s group, helping with parenting courses, volunteering with the Foodbank, there’s plenty going on at Resound. If you are interested in getting involved in any area of church life email us at office@resoundbristol.co.uk.
