Sunday Volunteer Teams
Kids (0 - grade 4)
Serve in one service and worship in the other! A great chance to help shape young lives and to create a sense of belonging, worth, and safety in church. We need 12+ volunteers per service. The commitment is for about 1 hour and 20 mins. Police Background Check is required.
Production
(sound, lights, slides, cameras, etc.)
This team runs sound, lights, cameras, computers, and so much more on a Sunday morning. We need 8+ in each worship service to help make the worship gatherings meaningful for all who participate. This is a crucial ministry. No previous experience required, just a teachable attitude and a heart to serve.

FAQ
Who oversees our volunteers?
Each department is led by church staff members. However, if you need a first contact in this area as you discern the needs in our church and your passions, Julie Peters (our Director of Volunteers and Missional Partnerships) is a great person to reach out to.
What kind of commitment is required to volunteer?
We ask that you be committed to what you have committed to. In other words, if you say you will be available and present to be a greeter during the 9am service, then you are “all in” on showing up with a Jesus-centred posture to love others. Also, various ministries have different levels of commitments. Some ask for a weekly commitment while others perhaps involve a rotation of volunteer teams.
