Volunteer at Starr King
We rely on this church for spiritual nurture, companionship, learning, occasional pastoral care, and fun. In turn, the church relies on its volunteers.
Whatever your talents or interests, Starr King has a lot of opportunities for you to give back. From gardening in our beautiful grounds to working toward social justice, there are many ways for you to become involved. Your ideas and energy will be most welcome.
And please let us know if you have a new idea for a stand-alone event. It could raise funds, attract new members, or just be fun! Planning a Successful Church Event
