Church is like a family meal, not a restaurant

That means serving each other, rather than expecting others to serve us.

That can happen in all kinds of ways – depending on your gifts, skills and capacity. And you don’t need to be an expert: if you join a team, we’ll train you up.

Below are a selection of some ways in which you can serve. If there’s another way you’d like to use your time and skills, let us know.

Kids

We love having kids as part of the church family. We have a team who lead kids group sessions on a Sunday. All go through a robust safeguarding process to serve in this way.

Youth

There are two teams (Pathfinders and One80) who serve our youth across the family of churches on Sundays and at regular events during the week. All go through a robust safeguarding process to serve in this way.

Students
Students are served by the student team who lead student small groups and look after the students who are part of the church family.
Musicians & Singers
The music team serve by helping us sing to God on a Sunday. We love seeing people use their gifts to serve this way.
AV
The AV team look after our tech on a Sunday. It involves setting up and managing what we use during the service.
Readers & Prayers
Reading the Bible and leading the church in praying to God are key parts of our life as a church. The team are the regular people who read and pray on a Sunday.
Welcoming
We love having visitors with us. The Welcome Team take a lead on a Sunday to help the whole church family welcome as Jesus welcomes us.
Set-up

We wouldn’t be able to meet together without the set-up team, who serve the church by importantly setting up all that we need and then pack it all down afterwards.

Refreshments
We believe spending time together is good for us as a church, so the refreshment team serve by putting on hot drinks and refreshments before and after the service.
Office

Some of the most vital work goes on behind the scenes. Some within the church help out by serving in the office doing a variety of important admin tasks. There are also teams that help in practical ways looking after our churches.

Social action

God calls us to look after those who are suffering. So, in many practical ways we look to encourage people to serve their community and share the good news of Jesus through it.
