Plymouth Church Community & Care ministries deepen our sense of community and care for each other. Serving one another gives us opportunities to grow in our own faith journeys, as we become part of something much greater than ourselves.

Child Care volunteers care for young children while supporting parents' participation in worship and other events.

"I like taking care of the kids at Plymouth because they are full of joy.
It is fun getting to know them."

Volunteering in the Child Care Ministry offers an opportunity to care for the youngest members of our congregation. It serves vital role in making sure parents with young children can attend services and participate in other aspects of congregational life. Ages range from newborns to 12 years old.
Child care providers are paid by the church; volunteers are also welcome!
Child care is provided at Plymouth for church events beyond Sunday worship, such as adult education classes or special services.
Events may take place Sundays or weeknights. Coordinator(s) for summer Sunday child care program receive a stipend.
Child care providers must complete a Washington State background check and complete a Plymouth disclosure form. Brief orientation is also required.
TIME COMMITMENT
One hour orientation. Schedule varies according to the child care provider’s availability.
The warm sense of community we experience at Plymouth Church is created and enhanced by our many community and care events and activities, led and supported by staff and volunteers.
Community & Care Board
The Community and Care Board facilitates opportunities for members to care for one other. They work closely with June Hayakawa-Fung, Parish Nurse, to coordinate ministries including: writing cards to members who are ill, coordinating delivery of Christmas and Easter flowers to people in our community who are unable to attend church, and coordinating hospitality. Volunteers make ALL the difference!
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in..."
— Matthew 5:35
Hospitality Hour, a time to socialize with guests and friends, happens every Sunday between 9 am and 11 am services.

Ministry teams and other church groups are also invited to host Hospitality Hour.

1.5 – 2 hours one Sunday/month (or every other month, depending on number of people on ministry team)
