SERVE PORTAL

All church volunteer needs in one place

~ Introduction ~

This portal is designed to be your “one-stop" location for viewing all current volunteer needs at Kirby Woods Baptist Church and taking action to serve. We have asked our leaders, “How many volunteers are currently serving in your ministry area, and how many more do you need to ensure that your ministry operates at peak performance?” The difference between these two numbers provides us with a concrete figure of volunteers who, if supplied, would allow our church to operate at full service capacity. What an incredible opportunity for ALL needs in our church to be met!

Before you consider the needs and your potential service, here are a few important things to consider:

• What is your spiritual gift, and how has God uniquely equipped you? The church is at her best when body parts are serving as they were made (fingers act like fingers, ears act like ears, etc…)

• Are you already serving somewhere else at Kirby Woods? Our desire is not to have a small group of people doing a majority of the ministry.

• Are you a member of Kirby Woods? Most of our volunteer service areas require membership, but we would love for you to consider joining us!

• What does the church need most? Below, you will find that the volunteer areas are ranked by priority. We do not mean importance, we mean priority of need. The areas which most need volunteer help and are most underserved are represented first.
