Serving God by Caring for Our Church Campus
A ministry of fellowship and service dedicated to maintaining and beautifying Tierrasanta Lutheran Church.
About the Chain Gang
Service Through Fellowship
Founded in 2006, the Chain Gang was created to help care for the church's buildings and grounds through the dedication of volunteers. By working together, members help reduce maintenance costs while creating a welcoming and well-maintained campus for worship, ministry, and community events.
More than just completing projects, the Chain Gang is built on friendship, teamwork, and the joy of serving God together.
Throughout Scripture, serving others is a humble expression of Christ's love, and that spirit is at the heart of everything we do.
