SERVE
Join our family of volunteers!We recognize that building a sustainable church involves the contribution of many volunteers. And we are especially grateful for all who have helped our growing church! If you would like to serve with us, please review these opportunities in light of your interests and gifts, then get in touch.
Please note: Choosing to volunteer can be occasional or frequent, based on your availability. Expressing interest does not mean you are signing up to serve. Our ministry leaders will be in touch with you on next steps.
Scripture Reader & Prayers of the People
Each week, we have laity read from the Old and New Testament and lead the congregation in the prayers of the people. This opportunity is open for both children and adults.
Greeter/Usher
Greeters are the friendly faces at Christ Our Life. They greet people and, if necessary, assist with seating. Greeters arrive before the service to set out name tags and clipboards for kids in the foyer. Our greeters also pass the plate during the offertory. Following worship, there is some basic breakdown required.
Worship Music Team
Instrumentalists and singers help with the music during the liturgy. This ministry typically involves an audition and occasional rehearsals under the direction of the worship music team leader.
Alter Guild
This is a beautiful opportunity to care for the elements on our altar. This ministry prepares the altar and vessels for communion and cares for altar linens. This requires arriving early to set up the altar, and/or time after the service to put away the elements and linens.
After-Service Clean Up
Return the sanctuary back to original seating arrangement. Make sure the building is tidied up and ready to be locked. Requires approximately 20 minutes after service times have concluded.
Potluck Dinner Week
On a week that potluck meals are scheduled after service, arrive at the church approximately one hour prior to service times and set up tables and chairs.
