VOLUNTEERING
Joining a team with SouthWest is a great way for you to grow in our community, make friends, and make an impact on others. SouthWest is primarily run by volunteers. Fill out the form and we’ll be in contact with you soon!
On Sunday mornings there is a great team atmosphere as we work together to ensure that everyone who attends SouthWest United Church feels like they are part of the community. If you prefer something more informal, sign up for our e-newsletter to find out about meals and activities like Bingo. You can get involved with set-up, greeting, feeding, serving and clean up – no experience required! This is one of the easiest ways to start on a team at SouthWest!

WHY DO WE DO IT?
....It's simple: because we believe in neighbours helping neighbours. We believe that a healthy ministry is one that reaches out to neighbours, whether Christian or not, believer or not, and says, "All are welcome". ..C’est simple : parce que nous croyons en l’entraide entre voisins. Nous croyons qu’un ministère en santé en est un qui rejoint ses voisins, qu’ils soient chrétiens ou autres, croyant ou pas. Voilà pourquoi nous disons que tous sont les bienvenus ! ....
