Flashback Friday: Why You Need a VHQ

Every Friday I dig into the archives and dust off an old post. If you haven’t read it, it’s new to you!

One of our values for our First Impressions team is “Attend One, Serve One.” We want our volunteers to be able to fully engage in worship in one service, then fully engage by serving in another service.
