Once the truck arrives, this team takes items off the truck and roll large bins inside the building. Unloaders also help with setting up our welcome signs, lobby area tables, auditorium tables for communion supplies, and set up our children’s check-in stations.  This team serves from 6AM to about 7:30AM.  We typically have 4-5 people who serve in this role, along with the Technical setup crew and staff.

Furniture Ministry

Matt Broderick, [email protected] or text 703-966-0791

Our church serves residents of Loudoun County who are in need by providing gently used furniture. You can serve by donating gently used sofas, tables and chairs, dressers, nightstands, end tables and lamps. We are a little strict on the condition of the furniture, so please send Matt pictures of your items to see if it is something currently needed and meets our criteria. We also purchase new household items (kitchen and bath items) essential to families getting off to a good start in their new apartment. You can serve by periodically shopping at Walmart from a specific list we provide, and then by taking the items to our storage unit in Leesburg. Also, you can serve by helping pick up donated items or moving items out of storage and into a client’s home. A very flexible schedule is usually required, as the needs arise quickly without much notice. People with flexible work hours during the week are sorely needed, as well as anyone who can help carry an end table, a lamp, a kitchen chair or bags of newly purchased items. You don’t have to be a professional furniture mover to help.
