Sub In

Assisting educators in our communities with their most requested need

Thank you for being interested in the Sub In initiative!


We’ve heard from educators at all levels that the shortage of substitute teachers has been huge burden on our local schools.

We strongly believe that we are called to do life as a community, caring for each other and lifting each other’s burdens. With this situation firmly in mind and with the desire to care for our educators and communities, Community Church will help facilitate the application for substitute teaching through Willsub.com as well as cover incurred costs to become a substitute teacher.
