Volunteer Opportunities

 
Has God made you outgoing? Do you love to meet new people? Are you generally a happy person? If this describes you, then consider being a greeter. Passion begins in the parking lot. From the moment someone arrives, they should be greeted with warm welcomes, smiles and made to feel at home. Greeters are the first impression a visitor has of our church family. On Sunday mornings, Greeters stand outside near the parking lot generally from 8:45-9:10am and then again from 9:45 to 10:10am to welcome and assist arriving visitors and members. This includes showing visitors where to go, assisting with umbrellas in the rain, and being aware of any special needs one may have upon their arrival.
 
There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and the sound booth is critical to a worship service running smoothly with minimal distractions. These volunteers should be detail oriented and able to pay attention to what is going on during a service.  Sound booth volunteers are responsible for gathering and operating all PowerPoint presentations for the songs and sermons as well as handling the sound board. Preparation should be finished well before the start of a worship service. Training can be provided to ensure operation of all equipment in a proficient manner. Volunteers generally serve on a rotation basis.

Do you enjoy cooking for others? Meal ministry volunteers are willing to cook for church members in times of loss or in extenuating circumstances. They are also available to provide food for special church events. The church office will make contact with meal ministry volunteers as needs arise.

A community liaison has an eye and ear turned towards the community. They hear about people that may be in need of local mission projects, like building wheelchair ramps, etc, and bring those needs to the attention of the pastors. If the church is able to undertake the project, community liaisons are responsible for assembling local mission project volunteers to ensure projects are completed in a timely manner.

Are you a handy person? Do you want to serve God by completing projects for others in need? Local mission project volunteers assist the community liaisons by completing projects for those in need. Past projects have included wheelchair ramps, yardwork, painting, etc.
