JESUS teaches us to be
servant-leaders...

...and that is exactly what we seek to live out here at WOAG. As Christ grew His ministry, he surrounded himself with a team of Disciples who each performed their own work in the ministry. Teamwork makes the dream work. Our church is alive, and half of all our attendees are either volunteers or serve in one or multiple arms of ministry as God calls them. We have Sunday School teachers in every age group, Kid's Church volunteers, Royal Ranger Commanders, Girl's Ministries Sponsors, Small Group leaders, Youth Group leaders, a Community Outreach Team, Evangelism Teams, Transportation Team members, Worship Team musicians, Audio / Video Tech volunteers and so much more! Below is just a small sampling of the leaders that make the ministry happen.
