Where Can I Serve?
First Baptist Church needs your spiritual gifts and abilities to help with the many ministries of our growing church. Please take a few moments to look over the following areas of service and see how you may be able to help. Thank you for your willingness to serve the Lord and others at First!
Audio/Visual
We operate video and recording equipment for the weekly worship services and special events. A variety of technical support is required for every service at First Baptist, and the audio/visual ministry is a prime opportunity for those who enjoy working with technology to volunteer their abilities for service.
AWANA
Awana is an important children’s ministry we run during the school year. It is an excellent opportunity to get involved by working with kids from pre-school through 6th grade, as you can spend each Wednesday night discipling and training kids as they memorize Bible verses and learn how to apply the truths to their lives.
Children’s Church
In order to give our children the best Bible teaching possible, First Baptist holds a children’s church service in conjunction with the main service. This special time gives kids more opportunity for interaction and learning in a context and manner that may be better suited to their age and learning styles. Our friendly children’s church volunteers have an endless stream of creativity–ranging from songs, to games, to object lessons.
Music
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music. Some play their instruments in our orchestra. Others are involved in the choir and smaller singing groups. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of First Baptist Church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.
Nursery
Loving childcare is provided in our nursery rooms for every scheduled service, and for most special services. Members serving in the church nursery allows church goers to focus on worship, and makes it possible for the pastor to fulfill his ministry.
Pathfinders
Pathfinders is our college-age and singles group. They have numerous activities and fellowships throughout the school year and summer that are sponsored by church members and families.
Sunday School
We offer Sunday School classes for all ages and stages of life. Sunday School provides the opportunity for mature members to exercise their spiritual gifts in teaching, as well as others the chance to serve by organizing class fellowships.
Ushers
The usher team at First Baptist Church fills an important role. They are involved in directing attendees to their seats, ensuring the safety of the building during services, helping visitors, answering questions, providing direction, unlocking doors, locking doors, and generally ensuring that the service can proceed problem-free. The usher team is a servant-hearted group of men whose ministry is integral to church life.
Vacation Bible School
Every summer First Baptist Church runs a week-long Vacation Bible School for children to hear the gospel and grow in their faith. Volunteers are needed to help lead the graded classes and run games and prepare snacks.
Youth Group
We believe in investing much time and effort into training the next generation to love and serve the Lord, so the teens have many opportunities for fellowship and teaching. Couples and families in our church volunteer to sponsor youth activities and fellowships so that our Youth Pastor can focus on teaching and discipling the youth.
