Have you benefitted from the Chapel Community, Sunday Services, and/or events? Would you like to share your love by volunteering a little bit of your time and energy with the Chapel to keep that positive energy going?
Step 1 Please complete the Volunteer Interest Form using the button below. You'll see some potential ways you can volunteer, as well as have a space to write in other ways you may not see listed. We look forward to hearing from you!
There are lots of ways you can contribute—what are the ways you are naturally wired to contribute? What are you interested in? Some of the ways we're growing are listed below—and if you don't see something listed that you'd like to help with, still reach out! We'll connect you with the right board member, minister, or volunteer to talk about your idea.

Speakers + Presiders Coordinator: Rev. Trish
Speakers and presiders (those leading the Sunday Service from the podium) require Board approval -- this usually takes a few weeks. If you are a speaker or teacher and have metaphysical wisdom to share, let us know you'd like to be a Sunday speaker! If you have a magnetic presence at the podium and would like to facilitate the service, lead the prayers and blessings, introduce the speaker, and open / close our worship and message services, this might be for you! Both of these roles take much preparation and rehearsal for services to run smoothly. Let us know if you're interested by emailing us using the button above.
Psychic Fair - Readers and Volunteers Coordinators: Rev. Cherylynn Tyler and Barb Moen
We love having regular and new readers support our Psychic Fair. You can apply to become an apprentice or a reader at our fair, which you can read about in Section 6 of our Psychic Fair Policy here.
If you'd like to volunteer to work the fair (help with setup, tear-down, re-setting the sanctuary for Sunday Services, greeting visitors, keeping time for readings, etc.), let us know via the Volunteer Interest Form above—or talk with Rev. Tyler or Barb.
Chapel Housekeeping and Maintenance Coordinator: Rev. Bettye Mason
If you're good at or enjoy cleaning - whether inside or outside - and would like to volunteer your time, let us know! The Chapel could always use some TLC in those areas, and many hands make light work.
Other Volunteer Areas Check out the latest Task / Duties list posted on the Chapel bulletin board and see where else you might want to help out. In the next few months, we may start interviewing people to help with social media and online presence management as well, and some other areas.
