Pine
Rest Mission Statement is the following: "Pine Rest Christian
Mental Health Services is called to express the healing ministry of Jesus
Christ by providing behavioral health services with professional excellence,
Christian integrity, and compassion." All staff and volunteers are
asked to proclaim this mission in all aspects of their life at work and
at home.
Volunteers are a special group of people and must be nurtured and recognized
as an important part of Pine Rest. Also, staff must recognize that a
volunteer's time is a gift and that a sense of belonging and a meaningful
volunteer position are essential.
The volunteer opportunities listed take place
in and around Pine Rest's main campus, 300 68th Street SE, Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and in West Michigan.
Many other opportunities are also available. If there is a specific
area of interest to you please call Volunteer Services at 616-281-6308
or print and fill out our volunteer
service application and/or send your resume.
