volunteer
be used by God to change lives
It’s only because of the people of God that our ministry exists. Normal people from all walks of life with every skill you can think of volunteer to help make our ministry happen. Because we value our volunteers we provide housing and meals at no charge to those volunteering on Word of Life property.
Will you join an army of other laborers graciously giving their time for the glory of God?

Why People Serve
Community & Fellowship
There is nothing like joining others just like you who want to make a difference for the Glory of God. There is a spiritual energy in using your gifts for the sake of the Gospel.
Teach Students to Serve
We have youth groups come every year for work trips and leave energized and ready to serve in their local community. Taking a weekend or week to volunteer can teach students powerful lessons for the future.
Use Work Volunteer Hours
Many employers are seeing the value of volunteer hours and are giving their employees paid time to volunteer. Word of Life is a qualifying non-profit charity and is a great place to use volunteer work hours for God’s glory.

Program Opportunities
The National Volunteer Program (NVP) Has Various Ways you Can Serve. We host you and Your group at our property while you volunteer.

Sponsored Work Retreats
Memorial Day & Columbus Day Weekend
Both of these Weekend Work Retreats are free to all volunteers! Memorial Day Weekend teams will be working to get The Bible Institute, The Island, The Ranch and Ridge, and The Pines prepared for the summer. The Columbus Day Weekend team will be working to close the Lewis Lodge, picnic area, playground, meeting house, and campsites at The Pines. Spaces fill up fast on a first-come, first-served basis

Custom Work Retreats
Whether it’s for a weekend, a full week, or even longer we would love to have you join us for exciting opportunities for a work retreat. No group is too small or too large, and we will find opportunities that match the capabilities and skill sets of your group. We can plan your time during any season and we will host your group for free.

Youth Work Retreats
Are you looking for an affordable way to take your youth group to a new level? Your teens can experience it all: 2-3 days working at Word of Life New York in a maintenance ministry setting, 2-3 days of Open Air Evangelism in a metropolitan setting such as New York City, and much more. We can customize your trip to accomplish any objectives you may have for your youth group. Your only other expenses are transportation and meals before arrival and after departure from Word of Life.
For this opportunity there is a $200 per participant fee to cover the cost of transportation, meals, and housing in New York City. There is no cost for meals and housing at the Bible Institute.
