Volunteer at Clyde Church
Do you love people and share a heart to see lives transformed through the power of the Gospel?
Over 150 years ago, a small group of people formed the Berwick Church of Christ and have seen lives transformed ever since. Imagine being part of the very beginning of another great work of God. Imagine the lives you will see transformed, the new connections you will make, and the growth in your life and others.
