In the Church
Serving the Body
Serving in the church is a vital part of the life of our congregation members. We are one body made of many parts, and together, we long to sacrificially serve one another with love, mercy, patience, and generosity. This is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. One of the primary ways our members serve one another is through facilitating worship, which requires many willing hands to provide a sacred space for our congregation on Sunday mornings. We encourage all church members to participate in worship by joining a Sunday morning team.
We pray that the Lord will bless your efforts to serve the body of Christ here at Good Shepherd and that the fruit of your labor will be a blessing to those inside and outside of our church walls.
SUNDAY MORNING
In Romans 12, the apostle Paul shows us that the body of Christ is made up of people who have a diversity of gifts and callings. We believe that the love of Christ in our church is put on display most clearly when we are using those gifts to serve one another. Serving in church on Sundays not only grows you in your connection to Christ, but also deepens your connection to others in the church. There are many ways to serve on Sunday mornings , including participating on the music team, helping with greeting and Sunday set-up, and serving in our nursery or Children's church.
Nursery
In our nursery, we have 4 classes broken up by age. Two volunteers are in each room, and we also have a volunteer that floats in the hallway to aid each classroom. Volunteers in the nursery serve on a 6-week rotation and are expected to arrive at 10:15am on a scheduled Sunday, to serve until the end of the service.

Children’s Church
Children’s Church volunteers teach during the worship service. In this class, kids will be given a more in-depth look at the story of God’s redemption as our teachers lead them through lessons from The Gospel Project curriculum. This teaching involves reading a text from the Bible, doing activities and crafts together, praying, playing games, and practicing memory verses. Volunteers are scheduled on a 6-week rotation.

Music & Production
Music and Production volunteers are a vital part of our worship service, as they facilitate everything you hear! They sing and play the songs of joy, sorrow, and remembrance that we worship God with. Our production volunteers help all sound – music, preaching, & reading of the Word – get to each chair.

Sunday Morning Setup
Sunday Setup Volunteers assist the Deacons in preparing the church for Sunday Worship. They help prep coffee and communion, hand out bulletins, greet and usher people and pass the offering plates. Sunday Setup volunteers serve every 6-8 weeks.
