We believe that God has put individual gifts and passions in all people to be used for His glory. If you are a part of Ashbourne Elim Church, we would encourage you to explore, use and develop those gifts and passions. See below for an example of ministries in which you could use those passions to serve God and His church.
If you’d like to serve on any of these teams, please register your interest on the form at the bottom of the page.
