VOLUNTEERS RESPONDING...


The coalition of Christians joining together to offer the radical hospitality of Christ during the Olympics is tremendous! Over 92% of the 60,000 volunteer hours needed for our beverage service has been committed. There is still time to find a place to serve! To apply as a volunteer, click on the right – which will walk you through the ‘self-serve’ site.

As we ‘attempt to be a helpful, thoughtful presence during the Games*’, expressed in generous service and engagement of social initiatives, we are seeking to ensure that Jesus is as seen both guest and host of our efforts. The More Than Gold network is providing pathways for collective action - that serves the greater good. What will be your part to play…for such a time as this?

“We ought to show hospitality to people so that we may work together for the truth”.3 John 1:8
