There are many service opportunities within the congregation: greeters, ushers, music team, tech team, children’s ministry volunteers, building and grounds (Trustees), various committees. Some of them are highlighted below.
By sharing our Spiritual gifts and strengths, we become the physical presence within our church and communities. To “VOLUNTEER”, offer our time and service, talents and gifts we share in making our church’s existence whole.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. . . . the human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.
This team will primarily focus on the youngest amongst our faith family. The main mission of this team will be to support and guide children and adults to be Grace Growers (foster faith and love as we grow in God’s grace); Hope Anchors (become firmly grounded in the promises of God’s hope); and Mercy Makers (to extend God’s mercy and grace through actions). This team will facilitate Christian Education in the life of our congregation through Discovery Zone, Children’s & Family Ministry, Vacation Bible Camp, and Adult Bible Study. The Catalyst Crew will work closely with the Family Ministry Coordinator and meet as needed, 3 or 4 times per year.
Our core duties typically include: Audio: Managing microphones, speakers, mixers, and soundboards. Visual: Operating projectors, monitors, and cameras to display graphics, lyrics, videos, and live feeds. Lighting: Creating atmosphere through stage lighting, accent lights. Live Streaming: Broadcasting services and events online, enabling remote participation and expanding the church’s reach beyond physical walls. Problem-Solving: Thinking quickly under pressure, diagnosing issues, and improvising creative solutions. Reliability: Arriving early, staying late, and remaining calm under pressure.
One of the points in our Mission Statement is, “Reaching New People”. If you’ve enjoyed our Frightfully Delightful Halloween Party, or our Fat Tuesday Evening, or one of our Block Parties – you’ve enjoyed one of the programs that help us live into this point of our Missions Statement. This Task force plans and coordinates these and other events. It is a Task Force, not a committee, so it meets when it needs to as decided by its members (not every month). Events are lead by different members so task force members need not work on every event. It is through these events several of our newer members have come into the life of the congregation.
The purpose of this committee is to guide the Endowment Fund, which was created to accept donations and memorials in perpetuity. Decisions are made on investments, and payouts from this fund.
Be part of the guiding force behind the church’s finances. This team oversees Senior Scholarships/Budget/Stewardship/Fundraising/Memorials. We meet once a month, as needed, on the second Monday at 5:30 PM.
Our church’s membership status accuracy helps guide our ministry programs. The membership secretary is a great opportunity for a person who has gifts of helping and administration. This person maintains the accuracy of membership records, helps conduct the annual membership audit and provides an annual report of current membership and those being removed from church roles. Tasks include phoning members, data entry on computer, assisting with confirmation tasks. Previous computer skills is a must.
The Mission Committee increases awareness and encourages volunteer participation in many different mission opportunities locally, nationally and internationally. We meet monthly and share mission opportunities in the monthly newsletter and Monday/Friday messages. Amazing things happen when we work together!
This group attends to connecting with first time visitors, helping then feel welcome and included in our faith family. Greet all those joining to worship.
