Thankful for a culture of generosity
Generosity. It’s more than making an impact with your financial giving. It’s about living open-handed with your…
- Time. Generosity can apply to how we use one of our most valuable resources – our time. Simply giving your time and serving alongside each other is a blessing felt on all sides.
- Space. We can also be generous with our personal space or home. Hospitality is widely celebrated in the Bible, and we are very thankful for the hospitality displayed in our community. With families coming from six different counties and 160 churches, our community shares their homes and lives with students and their parents from all across northeast Ohio. We are all part of the mission of Educating and Cultivating Servants for Christ, and your hospitality and kindness are major factors in doing that.
- Talents and Energy. Leveraging your talents for others has a wonderful impact on our community. Volunteering, mentoring, and plugging yourself into a space where you are needed is a valuable way to be generous. We are thankful for our talented community as God uses you here at CVCA.
How to Get Involved
Volunteers are a vital part of the CVCA community. There are some great ways you can get involved while getting to know faculty, staff, and other parents. We have opportunities for both men and women in many different areas and varying time commitments. To be added to our volunteer list, simply complete this Volunteer Form today, then watch this section of the Royal Weekly for exciting volunteer opportunities!
