Hello Team & Worship
* Our Hello Team is a great way to get to know the people that come through our doors. People of all ages can volunteer to make others feel welcome every Sunday morning. A select group is chosen each week to mingle around the front of the church Sunday Morning starting at 10:15 to approximately 5 minutes after the service starts. Time Commitment: at least one Sunday a month.
* Usher volunteer options are a fantastic opportunity to help during the Sunday service. The ushers can be required to help with setup of communion, seat people as they enter the worship center if seating looks limited, pass the baskets during time of giving and any other small task that is needed to make the service run smoothly. Ushers also help when the church partakes in communion.
* Worship includes positions such as musicians, tech booth, video, sound and live stream. Training is required for several of these volunteer options. When helping on a Sunday morning all volunteers are to show up for practice at 9:00 A.M.
