A key component to the Sunday morning experience involves music. If you have musical skills, we would love for you to be able to utilize those abilities by joining the band. Current needs on the team include percussion, guitars, and ambient sounds (pads, beats, etc.). If you are interested in joining this team, just fill out this form. 

If you are interested in leading worship, we would love to have a conversation with you to explore what that might look like. 

Having a great Sunday morning experience takes a lot more than just having great musicians. There are five stations in each service that make Sunday morning come alive. If you have skills or interest in sound, projection, lighting, cameras, or broadcast sound, we would love to train you in using these systems. If you have skills in using a digital sound board, running ProPresenter, or PTZ cameras, this would be a great team for you to join. If you are interested in this team, just fill out this form.

When an invited guest comes to your home, what do you do? You probably smile, greet them at the door, show them where they can sit and relax, offer them a drink. As we are inviting members of our communities into the church, we want to offer the same type of hospitality.

The goal is for every person that walks through the door to feel so welcomed, accepted and cared for that they want to come back! While this is the job of the entire church, a Hospitality Team member is the first face a guest sees. You can participate on this team on Sundays by helping in the parking lot, opening doors and greeting, serving coffee, showing people to their seats, or being a resource for child check-in and directions around the building.

After a service, a guest might have questions. Hospitality Team engagement post-service is another vital part of this ministry. We expect Hospitality Team members to be available to help guests feel known, including answering questions, saying hi to guests, collecting information, and pointing them to next steps. If you love making people feel at home, this is a great place for you to serve! If you are interested in this team, just fill out this form. 

If you understand the phrase, "Stop the Scroll", then we want to talk to you about serving on this team! Social Media is much more than a digital bulletin board. For us, it is a storytelling tool.

If you are interested in this team, just fill out this form.

What were your middle school and high school years like? What could they have looked like if you had mature adults pouring into your life? Middle school and high school are still challenging times for today's students.

There is a thorough process for potential adult youth leaders that starts with this application.

The goal of Kids Ministry is to develop a generation of passionate Jesus followers.  If you are good at engaging kids in a meaningful way and want to see them know Jesus, this might be a good fit for you.

The role of a small group facilitator is meant to help guide a small group into living out the key rhythms of discipleship both personally and as a group.  This role is more of being a guide rather than being a teacher.  

This role requires training and accountabilty that will be provided through our Small Groups Ministry Team.  If you are interested in leading a group, the best first step for you is to go through Rooted with others.  If you've already completed Rooted, you may be ready to lead a Life Group.  Just let us know on this form and we'll help you get started.
