No Place For You To Serve? Oh Really…

Every place of worship, no matter how large or small it is, at any given time will have an abundance of needs among its members. Some needs are easily spotted (Greeting & Serving), some are not easily spotted (Van drivers or Communion Prep). As Christians our calling is to serve alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ and to help bear the burdens in these moments.

Here are some ideas of where you can serve in the church at Madison Park Christian Church. If you do not attend this church, I am positive these roles are open in your church.

So here I go. In a perfect world…. At our current location….

  • We need 112 greeters to run an effective ministry.
  • We need 168 ushers/servers to run an efficient ministry.
  • We need 16 Guest Center volunteers to run a hospitable ministry
  • We need 16 people on our Custodial Team to run a well equipped and “clean” ministry.
  • We need 8 dedicated individuals who love the smell of coffee and love serving it to others.
  • To start our parking lot ministry, we need 24 committed men or women who would be willing to direct traffic while drinking coffee.
  • 8 people are needed to deliver Home Communion to shut-in’s
  • Do you want communion? We need 16 willing volunteers to prepare/cleanup the communion for us every Sunday.
  • 98 energetic young adults, older adults or even older adults are needed to teach and supervice our students in the elementary department.
  • 41 students/”techie” people are needed to help play instruments, sing songs and run “techie” stuff for our elementary youth.
  • 6 Fun van drivers are needed to pick up men and women who can’t just quite make it to church on their own
  • Currently we need 120 people for our Early Childhood (0-6 year olds)
  • 35 people are needed to help you focus on Jesus by making the “techie” stuff sound amazing
  • Have experience in banking, accounting or finance? We need you! We need 8 “money counters” to count our offering.

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE NEED TO SERVE IS 676. Still don’t have a place to serve?

I’m sure there are plenty of other opportunities that I have left out. If you would like, feel free to shoot those to me in the comments below or by email at tim@madisonparkchurch.com.

Call me at the church to get you signed up. Or email me at tim@madisonparkchurch.com I’d love to get you connected and serving.

    Curt and I were discussing how God hasn’t provided a place for our second site yet and how the reports say at 80% full you are risking the chance of some not coming to the church. Perhaps He is having us go over the 80% so the “regulars” will get out of their comfort zones – move over in your seat, park a block away, etc. Throughout scripture He is moving and shaking His family out of their comfort zone – that would include being one of the 507 needed to serve. Got to get to know a woman better the other night at a basketball game – due to the fact we recognized each other from the door I had been greeting at………..Thanks for calling me to serve – outofmycomfortzonegreetingisablessing.
