SERVE AT ELEVATE CHURCH

One of the best ways to meet people, develop relationships, and grow as a follower of Christ is to serve at Elevate. God gives each of us unique gifts and abilities to build the church. Serving is one of the best ways to discover and use the gifts God has given you.

As you serve, you’ll meet other Christians who can help you see what makes you special. You’ll also experience the joy of God working through you to make a difference in others’ lives.  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • We ask that you serve one service, every three weeks. If you are able and would like to serve more, let our Staff know and they will set up your schedule to reflect more.

  • Depending on the area you are serving, this is possible. Our kids area does require you to serve in a room for the duration of one full service so that means you can attend a different service time. All other areas for serving would allow you to serve and attend the same service in which you are serving.

  • This is possible but would require you to serve more than every other weekend. For example, if you want to serve in kids and in the parking lot, we would schedule you one Sunday in kids, and on the parking team the opposite Sunday.

  • You bet! Your kids are welcome to attend morning volunteer huddles with you. Immediately following your team’s huddle, you can check your kids into the kids area so that you can get to your serving location.

  • Our kids area is awesome and we encourage you to check them into their age-appropriate room so that you can focus on interacting with new and regular attenders.

  • If your teen is looking to serve, we want to help foster this! As long as your child is in 6th grade or higher, they are welcome to serve on one of our serve teams alongside you.

  • We have several areas you can serve:

    • First Impressions: Parking Team, Door Greeters, Coffee, Usher, and Kids Checkin

    • Preschool Kids: 0 — 5 years old

    • Elementary Kids: 2nd — 5th grades

    • Tech and Production: based on experience

    • Worship team: based on experience and tryout

  • We want you and your family to take time away to rest, just let us know. We have a process for you Blockout dates in advance so that we don’t schedule you for serving while you're away.

  • We use a system called Planning Center to schedule all of our volunteers. Once you begin serving, a member of our team will show you how and where you can use this to manage your serving schedule. It is a free system/website/app that you can easily use on your phone that helps you see your schedule, and communicate with Elevate staff.

  • Aside from maintaining your serve schedule, we ask all volunteers to take our self-paced DNA class. This class can be done at home and does require a device that will allow you to watch videos. This class is around 16-hour total and we ask that you complete this within the first 6 months of serving. DNA will equip you to be a stronger Disciple of Jesus. You can sign up here: www.elevate.city/dna

  • Any volunteer or staff that serves in any kids department or youth ministry are required to have a cleared background check. Background checks are conducted by a 3rd party service and informs the staff if a new volunteer is cleared to serve with minors. If you have questions regarding your possible background check, let us know! We want you as part of our volunteer family! We have a place for everyone willing to serve. We will handle confidentially and with discretion.

  • Tell us who you are and what are you’d like to serve! A Staff member will get in contact with you to get you started. *Please note: our Kids department volunteers are required to complete a background check.* Simply fill out the Volunteer Application which takes less than 5 minutes!
