Ready to serve?
We believe that every member of the body of Christ has been given gifts to serve the Kingdom of God. Our hope is to help place you on a ministry team where your deep gladness meets the a deep need. We call this The Sweet Spot!
Before you find your Sweet Spot serving here at church, we want to invite you to our Starting Point membership class to become a part of our local church family to better understand the vision of WHFC .
YOU'RE INVITED
Starting Point membership class serves to cast the vision and mission of Woodland Hills while inspiring the family to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
This class is offered four times a year, and participation in a Starting Point class is a prerequisite to serve on all volunteer teams at WHFC.
SPIRITUAL GIFTS
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.
FIND YOUR SWEET SPOT
