• Greet People: If you are outgoing and can strike up a conversation with others you can became an official, or unofficial, church greeter. Seek out visitors and do what you can to help them feel welcome and comfortable. Help them find their proper Sunday School class and get them the things they need to have a good experience at church. You don’t have to be given a title to be friendly. 

• Cook: Those who have lost a family member, are battling a sickness, or experiencing hardships appreciate having a church family who can provide a few meals. This gives them one less thing to worry about when dealing with so many other needs and emotions. 

• Transportation/Bus Ministry: Our bus ministry needs drivers and workers. You can also volunteer to give people a ride to our church services, activities, or doctor appointments. Ask our pastor or elders if there is someone in need who you could pick up and be a blessing to! There may be a homebound person who would love to come to church if they only had a way to get there.

• Invite Others to Church: We should all be involved in sharing our faith. One of the best ways you can do this and serve the church at the same time is simply invite your friends and acquaintances to attend a church service with you.  Posting flyers around local businesses whenever we host events is also a very important ministry!

• Set Up for Events: There is always a need for people to arrive early at events and help with decorations and setup. Don’t assume that you will be called “if you are needed.” Many times, whoever is in charge of setting up the event may not want to bother others to help them with the work. Take it upon yourself to contact those in charge and offer to help with setup or cleanup after an event.

• Prayer: The ministry of prayer should not be taken lightly. It is often said, “I can’t do much, but I can pray.” That is a sad way to think about prayer. The truth is, not everyone will pray. And, prayer is never the “least you can do,” but should always be thought of as the most important thing you can do. Pray for the church, its leadership, and those in the church who have needs. Don’t just pray for situations to be resolved in a positive way, but pray more deeply than that. Pray that people will be changed and become spiritually stronger. Read the first chapter of each of the books that Paul wrote. He prayed less for situations and more for people to become strong in the Lord.
