Be a Greeter
We are looking for warm, friendly individuals to join our team of Sunday morning greeters. This role is essential, as greeters are the first faces seen by members and new guests, setting a welcoming tone for everyone who enters our church. It’s a wonderful opportunity to serve the congregation, make meaningful connections, and extend Christ’s love to others. If you’re looking for a fulfilling way to volunteer and brighten someone’s day, we’d love to have you join us!
Tuesday Prayer Time
Each Tuesday at High Noon we would like for you to fast and pray for Otterbein Ministry. That we will be genuine followers of Christ and have an eternal impact on our neighborhood, community, county, state, nation and world! You are invited to join us at noon on the first Tuesday of each month in the sanctuary for prayer!!
