Ministry Opportunities
We’d love to help you find the right place to serve in ministry. Please read the descriptions below to learn more about each area, and fill out the contact form if you’d like more information.
As Christians we are called to worship God in all that we do. We gather for vibrant, intergenerational worship, anchored in Reformed, biblical preaching. Art and music enhance and illuminate our worship themes. We practice a classic, liturgical style of worship, thoughtfully drawing from the richness of the past while remaining open to new expressions of worship.
Worship
-
The reading of Scripture is central to our worship. Each week, members of our congregation are invited to read God’s Word aloud, helping to center our hearts and minds on the truth of the gospel. This sacred moment reminds us that Scripture is not just read—but heard, received, and lived.
Before the scripture is read, we have the Prayer of Illumination, asking the Holy Spirit to open our understanding, soften our hearts, and guide us as we listen for God’s voice through the Word. It’s a simple yet powerful act of humility and faith, inviting the whole church into deeper communion with God.
If you feel called to participate in this ministry—whether you’re a seasoned speaker or trying it for the first time—we welcome you. Training and support are always available.
-
Hospitality is how we embody the love of Christ to every person who walks through our doors. Whether it’s welcoming families, caring for little ones, helping guests find a seat, or simply making someone feel seen and valued, our Hospitality Team plays a vital role in creating a warm and worshipful environment.
This ministry includes:
Greeters who offer a warm welcome at the door, and serve Coffee & Lemonade following the service.
Hosts who assist newcomers and answer questions
Ushers who help with seating and support the flow of worship
Nursery Attendants who lovingly care for our youngest members
Every handshake, every word of kindness, and every act of care helps prepare hearts to receive God’s presence. If you have a heart for people and a desire to serve, there’s a place for you on the team.
-
Music is a powerful way to glorify God and lead others into worship. Whether through the soaring voices of the choir, the rich sounds of the orchestra and brass, or the intimate harmony of a small vocal ensemble, our Music Ministry is united in one purpose: to lift high the name of Jesus through song.
We welcome singers and instrumentalists of all skill levels who are passionate about worship and willing to grow in community. Opportunities include:
Choir – leading worship in services and special events
Orchestra & Brass – adding depth and beauty to our worship experience
Small Vocal Ensembles – offering intimate and expressive musical moments
Being part of the Music Ministry is more than making music—it’s about using your gifts to serve the church, build friendships, and draw hearts closer to God.
Come make a joyful noise with us—there’s a place for your voice or instrument here.

The Christian faith is a life-long journey. We faithfully celebrate spiritual milestones and nurture one another toward living out our Spirit-led calling in all stages of life.
