VOLUNTEER

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”

1 Peter 4:10

How it Works

At LBC, we seek volunteers with an active relationship with Christ who are passionate about helping others grow in faith. Whether leading discussions, answering biblical questions, or simply offering guidance and friendship, volunteers play a vital role in nurturing Christian maturity through service and leadership.

  • Before you can volunteer, the first step is to complete the Volunteer Interest Form. This form ensures that our directors are aware of your desire to serve and allows us to begin the vetting process. All volunteers must be approved by LBC before serving at camp.

    Once your Interest Form is received, you will be contacted by LBC’s Volunteer Coordinator. You will then receive a link to fill out the Volunteer Application.
