Flowers
The Flowers Team provides flowers or arrangements for worship each week. Flowers enhance the worship environment and are always given to honor God. The team arranges them themselves or encourages others to provide arrangements through local florists. Providing flowers can be accomplished by:
Visual Techs
The Visual Techs operate the computer program, ProPresenter, to present the visuals for worship. A heart for worship and service are necessary traits for Visual Techs. We will train you on ProPresenter!
Audio Techs
Join this ministry team to operate our audio system. We have a team to run our audio/visual at our 10:30AM worship weekly. Team members are also asked to handle audio for church events as needed. You will be trained on our systems, so you must have a heart for service and a "trainable ear!"
Greeters
Our Greeters distribute bulletins as they greet people entering worship. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know fellow church goers.
Welcomers
We have Welcomers who greet people as they approach the buildings and are prepared to offer assistance to first-time guests, especially. Welcomers are at their stations before our 10:30 worship each Sunday.
Communion Preparers
These are the people who prepare our Communion for us before each worship time when Communion will be celebrated. They work quietly in the background offering their service in this very special way.
Communion Servers
We have four servers for each service of worship when Communion is celebrated, so many people are needed for this service. This is a special opportunity to welcome churchgoers in the sacrament that Christ offers to all HIs followers.
Ushers
We have Usher Teams for each Sunday of the month at 10:30 worship. The team collects the offerings during worship. On Communion Sunday, they direct worshippers to the stations.
Advent/Christmas Decorations
A host of people are needed to prepare our church for the seasons of Advent and Christmas. This team makes plans well in advance then the week before Advent they begin transforming our facility to be beautifully adorned for the holidays.
Lent/Easter Decorations
Many hearts and hands make our Lent and Easter decoration fall into place each year as the team has planned. This may include adorning the crosses and windows for the season along with the placement of decorations.
