Serve

I'm Interested in Serving

Are you willing and hungry to serve?

We all have been given gifts by God to serve our church family. We can help you figure out what those are and how best to use them. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an outgoing, energetic personality or you prefer to do things ‘behind the scenes’ out of the public eye; we can help get you plugged in.

Weekend Hospitality
Resource Center

We need Resource Center volunteers at both campuses. These volunteers stand at the Resource Center before and after the service. They greet first time visitors, give them a gift, and help answer questions they might have. They also interact with our members who have questions or want to sign up for events and Equip Classes. You do NOT have to know everything about Gateway Church in order to serve here!

Greeters

Our greeters welcome our members and guests as they arrive at each campus on Sunday mornings. They stand at the entrance doors, open doors, and greet each person as they enter our building. This is a great area to serve as a family!

Ushers

Our ushers stand at the entrances to our Worship Centers to greet our members and guests as they enter and help them find available seats (if needed). At our County Road 9 Campus our ushers also hold the doors open for everyone as they enter. Occasionally our ushers will have items to pass out as well.

Cafe

Cafe - We offer coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and lemonade (seasonal) to our members and guests at each campus. Occasionally there are also special treats in our cafe. Volunteers that serve in the cafe interact with our members and guests as they serve them their drinks. We are also looking for volunteers to set up or clean up our cafe once a month.

Parking Lot

At our County Road 9 Campus we have parking lot volunteers to greet everyone as they arrive for our services on Sunday mornings. They also may assist as needs arise (such as a dead battery, flat tire, security).
