SERVE & VOLUNTEER
Serving is at the heart of who we are as followers of Christ. At Covenant, we believe every person has gifts to share, and volunteering is one of the best ways to grow in faith while making a difference in the lives of others. Whether inside the church or out in the community, these opportunities allow us to serve God by serving people. See how you can serve below.
Care & Connection
Greeting Team
Welcoming with joy
A smile and a handshake can make all the difference. Our greeters create a warm, inviting atmosphere each Sunday by welcoming members and guests, offering directions, and answering questions. This team helps make sure that everyone, from first-time visitors to longtime members, feels seen, valued, and at home in our church family.
Outreach Ministry
Bringing church to the community
We step outside the walls of our building to be the hands and feet of Christ in our neighborhoods. Outreach includes service projects, partnerships with local organizations, and opportunities to meet needs in tangible ways. By showing Christ’s love beyond Sunday mornings, we extend the hope of the Gospel into our community.
Congregational Care
Meeting needs & maintaining relationships
Care doesn’t stop after worship. This team supports our church family through meals, visits, prayer, phone calls, and encouragement during times of illness, grief, or transition. Their ministry is a reminder that no one walks alone, and that the body of Christ is at its best when we carry one another’s burdens.
Prayer Ministry
Lifting hearts to God
Prayer is the heartbeat of our church. Our prayer team faithfully pray for the needs of our congregation, community, and world, both privately and during dedicated gatherings. They help cover our church in prayer, trusting in God’s power to heal, guide, and transform lives in ways only He can.
Worship
Choir
Lifting voices in praise
The choir helps lead our congregation in worship through music that inspires and uplifts. Singing traditional hymns, anthems, and special seasonal presentations, the choir proclaims the gospel in song. Whether in rehearsal or in worship, this ministry builds community and invites people to encounter God’s presence through music.
Worship Team
Leading with Spirit and Song
Our worship team uses their musical gifts to guide the congregation in praise each week. With voices and instruments, they create an atmosphere where hearts can focus on God and respond to His presence. Their ministry blends preparation with Spirit-led worship, inviting everyone to join in glorifying the Lord together.
Tech Team
Serving behind the scenes
Sound, lights, and media make worship possible, and the tech team ensures that everything runs smoothly. From managing audio levels to coordinating livestreams, this ministry makes it possible for people both in person and online to connect with God without distraction. Serving here is a way to combine technical skill with spiritual impact.
Handbell Choir
Ringing out God's glory
Through the unique beauty of handbells, this group adds depth and joy to our worship services. Their music blends precision, teamwork, and praise, creating a sound that fills the sanctuary with wonder. Each ring is an offering to God, reminding us of the harmony we share as His people.
Altar Guild
Preparing the sacred space
The altar guild quietly and faithfully prepares the sanctuary for worship each week. From arranging communion elements to caring for linens, candles, banners, and paraments, their behind-the-scenes work helps create a space of reverence and beauty. By serving in this way, they help our congregation enter God’s presence with focus and joy.
Acolytes
Serving with light
Our children play a vital role in worship by carrying the light of Christ into the sanctuary. Serving as acolytes helps them learn responsibility, reverence, and the joy of being part of God’s work. This ministry allows young disciples to lead by example while reminding the whole congregation of Christ’s presence with us.
Other Opportunities
Love Baskets
Feeding families & sharing hope
Love Baskets is our monthly food pantry ministry that provides groceries and essentials to families in need. By offering both practical help and a warm welcome, we seek to ease burdens and remind our neighbors that they are cared for. This ministry is a tangible way for our church to share Christ’s love and nourish both body and spirit.
Church Events
Building fellowship & fun
From seasonal celebrations to fellowship gatherings, church events bring us together as one family. These opportunities strengthen relationships, create lasting memories, and open doors for newcomers to feel connected. Serving with this team means helping plan, prepare, and host, and work events that cultivate joy and community within our church.
