Being a volunteer is part of what it means to be.the Body of ChrisV11 Corinthians 121. With the exception of the vicar, every job at St Barnabas is carried out by volunteers. However. the burden continuesto be great- lacking Churchwardens and a PCC Secretary has put considerable stress onto so few. Paid Employees St Barnabas is not currently employing any staff.
