Using your God-given gifts to sacrificially support one another.
We invite you to experience the joy of building up the Body of Christ as you serve alongside others in the church. Not only will your God-given gifts be an encouragement to others, but you will be encouraged as you build relationships with those you work alongside.
In 1 Peter 4 each one of us is encouraged to “use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms…, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” We strive to offer opportunities where you can discover, use, and develop your gifts in a way that serves others and glorifies God.
Different seasons of life allow for different capacities to serve. Without feeling any pressure, consider how God might be calling you to join a Serve Team.
Serve Team Opportunities

Do you enjoy working with kids? Do you have a heart to share the gospel with children?
Our kids’ ministry is divided into five age groups: Toddlers (2-3 years), Preschool (4-5 years), 1st & 2nd Grades, 3rd-5th Grades, and 6th-8th Grades. The typical class size is 5-10 children.
Those working in this ministry would be responsible for teaching one of these groups of children during the sermon (approx. 45 minutes) one month each quarter—or less often if we have an abundance of volunteers! Teacher responsibilities include lesson and classroom prep using The Gospel Project for Kids curriculum materials. Experience teaching children and church membership is required for teachers, but those without experience, who are not yet church members, or who are students are welcome to serve as helpers.
To provide a safe environment for our children, all volunteers in Grace’s Kids’ Ministry must complete the application process and pass a background check.
-
Are you friendly or outgoing? Do you enjoy people and making them feel welcomed? Then you may enjoy serving as a greeter or usher. Volunteers should arrive by 9:40am and usually serve once a month unless there is a special service. No prior experience necessary.
-
To serve with our team on Sunday you get to do far more than prepare drinks and snacks. You get to prepare a warm and welcoming environment that allows for connection with others! Join us once or twice a month to bring our friends a little additional joy on Sunday mornings.
-
In addition to setting up, food preparation, serving, and cleaning up at fellowship meals, receptions, and funeral luncheons, the hospitality serve team provides other food-related services as needed.
Building a team of servers with the benefit of growing in friendships! No need to have experience, and any man or woman is welcome to join!
-
As families experience the joys (for example: a new baby) and challenges (for example: surgery) of life, we often desire to offer a helping hand. One way we encourage and support each other is through the coordination of a Meal Train. As needs arise, emails are sent out to the team with specific instructions, dietary restrictions, and available slots.
-
Do you have gifting and passion for the area of music ministry? Perhaps you are a musician or singer or both!
In addition to spending a little time during the week practicing and preparing on your own, we generally meet at 8:30am on Sunday mornings for rehearsal. Such a commitment, however, does not necessarily entail participating every single Sunday.
Experience and skill level are important, but we are also willing to work with individuals who are still in the process of learning.
-
SOUND TECHS Do you have experience running sound or would you like to learn how to run sound? Responsibilities include arriving early on Sunday mornings to run a sound check during rehearsal with the worship team and then run sound during the service. Occasionally you will be asked if you are available to serve at a special service (Good Friday, Christmas Eve, etc.). Currently we have a greater need for volunteers with some experience, but we are willing to work with those who have a desire to learn.
MEDIA TECHS Running projection slides is a great way to help the church worship together and you don’t even need advanced computer skills to do it! Responsibilities include arriving early on Sunday mornings to run through the slides with the team, make any adjustments, and run the slides during the service. Slides are prepared in advance. Occasionally you will be asked if you are available to serve at a special service (Good Friday, Christmas Eve, etc.). We hope to have a rotation of volunteers that would serve about once a month.
Specific Need: We are currently looking for those skilled in networking, A/V wiring, and related handy skills for special projects.
-
Are you interested in stage design and setup, particularly for special services? Are you comfortable with reading in front of a crowd? If so, then start using your gifts in arts, crafts, design, writing, and reading to further the gospel and create visual imagery with the Worship & Arts team!
-
Do you enjoy decorating for different holidays and seasons? Do you have ideas to improve the decorating aspects of our church facilities while keeping with the overall aesthetic? We invite this team to use their gifts to create an inviting environment for all who enter our doors.
-
Just like many of our own homes, our church also has a “honey do list”—some indoor (changing furnace filters and light bulbs, moving chairs, mounting bulletin boards, painting, drywall repair, etc.), some outdoor (planting flowers, pulling weeds, trimming bushes, pruning trees, etc.), some seasonal (snow blowing the sidewalks around the building and property, clearing exterior doors of snow by shoveling, mowing the lawn, refreshing mulch, etc.). If you have a hand to lend, we will gladly welcome you to the team!
-
Are you passionate about reading, reviewing, and recommending Biblically sound resources? Do you have a knack for implementing and maintaining organizational systems (e.g. book checkout/return procedures)? If you answered yes to either of these questions, the Christian Resource team might be the right fit for you!
-
The Global Missions Team strives to develop encouraging and supportive partnerships with our missionaries who are taking the Gospel to some of the least reached people groups in the world.

Every Sunday morning volunteers pick up members of our church family who reside at Inspiration Ministries (IM) which is located at N2270 WI-67 in Walworth. Responsibilities include picking up the residents using a van provided by IM and then dropping them off after the worship activities. To serve in this capacity you must complete the IM volunteer application and background check, be at least 18 years of age, have a clean driving record, and attend a 3-hour training session with the Transportation Coordinator to learn about the IM vehicles and loading instructions.
