Get Connected:
People…these pages are about
people. In fact, nothing of eternal value happens without people…a
network of committed volunteers banded together and empowered to
accomplish great things. Get connected is about you finding a place
to express yourself, where you can find a personal fit for you,
your vision, and your gifts by actively engaging with other people
who share the same passions.
Sunday
"Make-it-Happen" Team |
| From start to finish,
tons of work goes into an effective and dynamic Sunday
morning service. From arranging and placing the letters
on the front display sign… to typing, printing,
and folding the What’s Happening bulletin. From
making sure the entrances are cleared, the lights turned
on and even the heating adjusted to make this time comfortable….to
whose doing the announcements and did somone fill the
baptismal tank with warm water?
|
Our Welcoming Team |
| Are you especially
friendly and like to greet people with a warm smile?
This is our “first impressions do last”
opportunity to welcome people into our facilities…not
just at the door, but to see that they know where their
children go or just where to find some hot coffee and
a Timbit waiting for them. This team sees that the communication
cards are passed out and the offering is collected too.
|
Audio/Visual Production Team |
| So you have some
computer skills, you like to work with Powerpoint, and
you have a creative bent! We are a “visual”
church with a big screen up front that we utilize often.
From the songs we sing, to the announcements we read
and hear about, this is a vital part of what goes on.
|
Audio/video Management Team |
| Check -1-2-3…Mic…check
1… check 2. Do you feel the need to “push
the buttons?” Well, our sound board has over 1000
of them. From the sound checks and starting the countdown,
to the PowerPoint slide advancing, people are needed
throughout our services to keep things flowing smoothly.
|
Sunday Serving Team |
| Are you into catering
and food services? Not many monetary tips here, but
there is eternal rewards! Fresh coffee and Timbits are
the “Get up and Go” we need for a comfortable
and welcoming time. This team makes sure coffee supplies
and Timbits are ordered and on hand, does communion
prep, and sets up Sunday morning with everything ready
to go!
|
Worship Team |
| Hey, you might not
be the next Canadian Idol or big rock star, but how
about putting some of those music skills to work for
The Rock of Ages! Our worship team is crucial for focusing
our hearts toward all that Jesus is and having fun doing
it.
|
Nursery Team |
| We just know there
are more ladies out there with that “I just have
to hold that baby” itch. It’s not all about
just changing diapers (although we all know that does
happen.) This time is full of opportunities to demonstrate
the love of Jesus to the littlest of ones in a safe
and secure environment.
|
Adventure Kidz Children’s Ministry Team |
| Never mind “got
milk,” if you’ve “got life”
then plug in here. There is never an opportunity missed
here to pass on to the emerging generation the thrill
of following Jesus. From directly working with kids
as large group teachers and small group coaches, to
working in a supportive role such as providing snacks,
preparing crafts, administrating or organizing, there’s
a place for you to fit in. So what are you waiting for
... join the adventure today!
|
Office Administration Team |
| Oh no, we`re out
of paper again…well,we need a team of folks to
be our office administrators. These people look after
our supplies, equipment, ordering, see to the maintenance
of equipment and deal with those sometimes pesty phone
solicitations. But not only that, these people are “people
persons” too, responding to guest contacts and
follow-up, as well as things like sprinkler and fire
inspections.
|
Reno Team |
| Holmes on Homes anyone?
Look around, there’s much to do…from all-out
construction to pushing a broom. We’re building
a building…to build the people of God… to
reach the world for God. Young or old, guy or girl,
come on out and swing a hammer and let the paint fly!
No job is too small or too big…together we can
all play a part in this. Maybe you can’t build,
but you can organize and promote people who can…
step right up!
|
Communication Team |
| See the face but
can’t remember the name? It’s a common problem.
This team is here to help! We’ve all been “bailed
out” by the name tag when we forgot a name! Our
directory is such a useful tool! But it all takes volunteers
to make it happen. Did you know you have a mail box?
You didn’t? Well, these guys will see that you
do. Don’t forget to check the information tables
for upcoming events…these guys look after that
too.
|
Fundraising
Team |
| Sometimes it’s
the little investments that pay big dividends in the
long run. From collecting Canadian Tire money, soup
labels, pennies or the Shop and support program, it
all adds up. We are also looking into the possibilities
of larger capital fundraising events and need some experienced
people in these roles.
|
Financial
Team |
| No this is not “Bean
Counters Anonymous.” Tellers, envelope secretaries
and record keepers, all the way to budget setters, cheque
cutters, accountants and auditors are needed here. If
numbers are your thing, then get counting here!
|
Community Impact
Team |
| Canada Day, the County
Fair, the Christmas parade, Superbowl Sunday, adult
bowling, the Car Rally... just who is behind the scenes
working to make these Community Impact Events do-able?
The planning, setup and takedown, these guys are the
ones that make it happen! Just think of all the “in-house”
activities we can have for community outreach as well,
like ball hockey, video nights, etc. It might be adult
bowling or a Family Festival Night! If you can help
organize and facilitate and you have a heart to impact
our community for Christ…don’t wait…plug
in today!
|
Helping Hands
Team |
| Those times when
a new mom needs a meal, or someone is down sick or recovering
from surgery, this team steps right up to help out when
needed.
|
Jr. & Sr. High RISE & REV Youth Team |
| Since most of us
reading this were young people at least once in our
lives, we all know that there is no real needs here…yeah,
right…like totally NOT TRUE. Do you have a heart
for teens? From Friday night fun and talks… to
camps, laserquest and retreats… it all takes some
serious, and well, OK, some not so serious adult leadership
and helper involvement.
|
Prayer
Team |
| This is our “Take-it-up-with-God”
team. The foundation of our dependency on God is expressed
here. Do you feel the real passion to be a prayer warrior?
Join this crucial team today.
|
Women's Ministry
Team |
| This is not about
knitting socks! This is serious fellowship around some
good study, food, and lots of what women like to do
best…talk! (Did we say that…can`t believe
we said that!) From organizing, advertising, preparation
and events, much needs to be done to see good fellowship,
friendships, and mentoring happen.
|
Global Mission Partnerships
Team |
| From assessing ministry
partnerships and vision, to challenging people to the
“big picture” of world evangelism in our
generations time, if you have a heart to see that life
is not about us…plug into the heart of God here.
|
Grounds Team |
| “I’m
sure glad I don’t have to bring a shovel or plow
snow to get into the parking lot,” you say. BUT
“somebody” had to look after this. Maybe
you have a “Green Thumb” to help with the
grass and flowers we love to see around the building.
Our grounds team looks after many things we so often
take for granted.
|
Building Maintenance Team |
| “I wonder whose
job it is to fix that door so it closes properly?”
“Hey, this table is broken, who’s going
to fix it?” These people look after the “stuff”
that often falls between the cracks! Did you know we
have to have sprinkler inpections? Maybe you are a jack-of-all-trades,
master of none… there is never-ending activities
to see to here.
|
Custodial Care Team |
| No one likes going
into the bathroom and finding theres no TP, right? Well
these people facilitate the caring and cleaning of our
facilities. They may help out themselves, or they may
help see that people are recruited and equipped to see
that these important things get done.
|
Library Team |
| Who likes to read,
enjoy a video, or settle down with a new music CD? Then
check out the library! All this did not arrive by osmosis
though. (If you don’t know what osmosis means…look
it up in your library!) These are the people who look
after getting the “good” stuff for all us
to enjoy, and to keep on enjoying, time and again.
|
Internet Technologies
Team |
| Let’s face
it, the internet is here to stay, so let’s use
it and promote it more. Do you have some web design
experience, creativity, know how to set up a blog? Then
this is the place for you.
|
Promotion
Team |
| Every church has
some experienced people in advertising and graphic design.
Why do people have jobs in this area? Because advertising
does not cost…it pays. These folks invest their
time and skills to see that our message to our own people
and to the community is well-communicated.
|
Creative Arts
Team |
| The more things are
communicated visually, the better we learn. Drama, skits,
singing, presentations…we’ll use whatever
makes the “point” to communicate in the
most effective way. You don’t have to be Johnny
Depp or Kirsten Dunst…if you are just feeling
a little creative, join us… the sky is the limit
here.
|
More To come!
