Serve on Sundays

Park Avenue has a rich tradition of dynamic praise and worship time during the Sunday services. We draw out the gifts of our congregation by creating opportunities for all to minister and be ministered to through creative expression and acts of service on Sunday mornings.

Service Opportunities

Worship Team

As needed

Lead praise and worship every week. Members of this team are also part of the choir and are selected through an audition process.

Dance Ministry
