Admission will be a $7.00 suggested donation to the ministry per person, with children under 12 years old free.

Volunteer Spotlight: Video Presentation
Pastor uses lots of media in his presentations. Aboite is very blessed to have industry standard equipment to help us spread the Word, and a dedicated team of volunteers to make it all happen! Video volunteers come before the worship service to coordinate with Pastor and the worship leader, run the equipment during the worship service, and shut it all down after the service. We are grateful to these volunteers for their faithful service. There are several opportunities to get involved in this valuable ministry, especially for Monday evening worship services. The time commitment is approximately 3 hours, once or twice per month. If you are interested, we prefer that new volunteers have a basic knowledge of PowerPoint and be middle school age or older. We will provide training for the presentation equipment. For more information, please contact Justin@aboitechurch.org
