In order for people to fulfill their service, it relies on people. People who preach, make music, organize, accompany, visit, manage, plan, pray, and get to work. It takes people in the background who support, coordinate, accompany, and create the framework so that others can fulfill their service with joy and clarity.

For our Evangelical-Reformed parish, we are therefore looking for a committed personality as the
