SERVE IN OUR MINISTRIES

Several internal ministries couldn’t exist as they do without the commitment of the many volunteers who foster transformation through their God-given talents and abilities.

 

 

 

 

CARE

Spiritual gifts are used and not wasted as we share the transforming love of Christ through care. The Holy Spirit uses our efforts to change hearts. If you have a passion for walking with others in hard times, you may want to consider becoming a Partner in Care or a Stephen Minister.

Contact: Rick Waters, Pastor of Care

CHILDREN’S VOLUNTEERS

Our children’s ministry program exists to introduce children to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to help them to live their whole lives in response. We do so by building Christ-centered relationships, teaching a Bible-centered curriculum, and participating in missional activities.

Anyone who is interested in serving in this ministry MUST complete their Safe Sanctuaries. You can find a list of requirements here.

Contact: Courtney Wynn, Children’s Minister

CHOIR

Our choir helps lead worship through hymns and songs during our Traditional Sanctuary Worship Service on Sundays at 9 AM. There is also a weekly choir practice on Wednesday evenings.

HOSPITALITY

The Hospitality team creates an environment where each person feels welcome and comfortable at Sunday services. You can expect to have fun, care for new people, share community with your team, and play a significant role in helping someone have a wonderful experience. There are opportunities to serve in hospitality at Sanctuary, Online, and House Worship experiences.

TECH TEAM

The Tech Team supports Sunday morning worship and other technical needs throughout the week. If you have an eye for detail and enjoy working behind the scenes, this area of ministry is for you.

SERVE THE COMMUNITY

We seek to come together as the people of Christ to love our neighbors and care for the needs of others. First Church is committed to supporting our community and developing relationships that strengthen our unity and glorify God.

 

 

 

CODE BLUE

The Code Blue Team is looking for people to serve as overnight hosts for the 2023 season (January 3 – March 31). Being an overnight host includes setting up cots, serving food, and being hospitable to guests. If you are willing to serve as an overnight host, reach out to John.
