The Sweet Spot

The Sweet Spot



Before you find your Sweet Spot serving here at church, we want to invite you to become a part of our local church family to better understand the vision of WHFC.

Starting Point membership class will be Tuesday,  April 16th, 2024. Participation in a Starting Point class is a prerequisite to serve on all volunteer teams at WHFC. 

Registration is open!

 

Already a covenant member of Woodland Hills?  Let us help you take your next step in finding your Sweet Spot.

The Bible tells us that we are all endowed with spiritual gifts at the time of our salvation. If you have never known what your gifts are, we love to recommend the free S.H.A.P.E. assessment. This S.H.A.P.E  survey is not a one size fits all "diagnosis" for spiritual gifts, but we believe that it's a helpful and effective tool to use when discovering yours. Each assessment takes about 45 minutes and should be completed on a laptop. 

 

Discover Your Spiritual Gifts

 

We hope you take a few minutes to read about all of the serving opportunities at WHFC, then mark your areas of interest on the Sweet Spot form below.

 Our Hospitality Team leads the coffee and drink stations on Sunday mornings and weekly “on campus” classes.  Punctuality and a sense of urgency are encouraged.  Our environments require fast, friendly awareness of quality and cleanliness while serving coffee, new drink recipes and food at special events.  Here are ways you can help:
