Why Join a Team?
Joining a Rugby Elim team means you get to be part of the bigger picture—serving God’s Kingdom and playing a role in something truly great. When we serve together, we become part of something bigger than ourselves.
Being on a team is a powerful way to use your gifts and help make every part of church life a place where people can encounter God and find real community. It’s also one of the best ways to make friends and build meaningful relationships along the way.
