Mini-Golf Palooza - Volunteer

We Need Your Help with Our Next Big Outreach!

On February 28 from 4–6 PM, we will be transforming part of the church into a mini golf course! Our goal is to create a fun, free, indoor mini-golf–themed event for people of all ages in our community to enjoy. There will be free food, inflatables for kids, and lots of great mini golf.

Here’s where we need your help:
We need volunteers of all kinds for this event, but we especially need people willing to design and set up their own mini golf hole. Each hole should include a theme, edge barriers to keep the ball contained, a few obstacles, and a hole at the end. Get as creative as you’d like—prizes will be awarded for the best holes!

You can also view the many other volunteer roles available there.
Questions? Contact Pastor James Bryde.
