Volunteer Launch
 The Volunteer Launch provides opportunity for church members to meet the community-wide team leaders, explore the various ways they can serve, find out about specific needs for the outreach and ask questions. A Volunteer Launch is usually a community event but can be tailored for one church, especially if it is a large congregation.
