Lay Servant Ministries is deeply embedded in the history of United Methodism as John Wesley realized the laity could be effective leaders of meetings throughout the church. Roles included leadership in preaching and conducting worship but also leadership in leading studies, visiting the sick, and imprisoned. Lay Servants were encouraged to “watch over one another with love.”

The After-School Program at Golden Gate is in need of volunteers/tutors. They currently have four youth volunteers plus three staff to assist youth with their homework right now, but because they have youth coming in at two different times, it is hard for to be spread around when each youth is at a different grade level or learning level.
