If I am not a student can I attend?

If you are not a college student, we can use your help as a volunteer Work Crew Member. Work Crew is a team of 40 people who play an important role in making Selah happen. This team helps with the practical work behind the scenes: food prep, food service, set up and clean up after meals, and various necessary tasks to serve the community. In addition to serving others together, Work Crew teams will spend time in prayer and guided reflection. Work Crew is a great opportunity for you to serve practically, and receive some discipleship around work. Spots are limited, if you are interested in Work Crew please register today.
