What's the best part about serving as an Events and Ministry Coordinator?

The absolute privilege of walking with someone through their life moments. Hurts and joys—being close enough to someone to see it is amazing.
- Rachel, Coordinator (serving offsite) in Thornton, Colorado 

The people! Making life-long friendships. 
- Rhonda and John Leslie, former coordinators in Brandon, Florida 

Being able to use my creativity to plan out events that bring joy to others! And being the person who helps residents foster friendships - being the bridge to build community. 
- Olivia, Coordinator (serving concierge) in Charleston, South Carolina 

One of my favorite things is being able to include our family. Our kids love loving others. They've become little event coordinators, always eager to plan, shop, and set up. Watching them care for our community has been such a sweet gift. 
- Kaylee and Landon, Coordinators (serving onsite) in Rowlett, Texas

Getting to use my creative gifts to serve others and watch people light up with simple things. We live in such a disconnected world, something as simple as a bagel bar allows people to be creative and connect with others!
- Julia, Coordinator (serving onsite) in Jacksonville, Florida 

When neighbors show you love and care. I've been surprised at how residents have shown up for me and my family.
- Omar and Dani, Coordinators (serving onsite) in Thornton, Colorado

Creating beautiful event experiences that bring people together to turn strangers into neighbors, into friends, and finally, into family!
- Katie, Coordinator (serving offsite) in Conroe, Texas
