Set up/Teardown Team
The set up/teardown team is responsible for transforming the school into our place of worship on Sunday mornings - and then reversing the process after service. We need people able to haul the trailer, push carts inside, move tables and chairs and set up our welcome and kids' areas. There are jobs for strong backs but also for those with an eye for detail to set up the welcome areas.
Greeting Team
The greeting team exists to be the first to offer a warm welcome to all attendees. As one of the first impressions for visitors, it is important that this experience is positive and welcoming. There are a variety of positions on this team - parking lot greeter, front door greeter, cafeteria entrance greeter, and ushers. It can be a bit intimidating to try a new church, and sometimes people are just having a rough morning, so we want to make sure we do everything we can to make the love of Christ tangible to anyone who walks in the door.
Coffee and Hospitality Team
Help us welcome everyone on Sunday morning with fresh, hot coffee and treats. The coffee and hospitality team includes individuals who make or pick up treats to share, those who make and transport coffee to the school, as well as those who set up and maintain the coffee table in the school lobby. While monitoring the condiments and coffee levels, we also fellowship and welcome people as they get their coffee. Occasionally, this team may also help prepare or organize when refreshments are needed for meetings or other small gatherings.
Connections Team
The goal of the connections team is to help visitors and members make deep connections to our church by pairing them with other church members and helping guide them to areas where they and their families can grow deeper in their faith. People on this team are available to sit with a new family during service, invite someone to a Discipleship Hour group or other event, or invite them out to lunch or coffee to get to know them better. There are also people on this team who send cards to and check-in with visitors or members from time-to-time. Additionally, the BCF Central table is the hub of all signups and connections on Sunday mornings, and this table is manned by the friendly people on this team.
Communion Team
The Communion team has the honor of preparing and cleaning up weekly Communion before and after service. While remembering the significance of the elements they are preparing, they are also mindful of food safety as they fill cups with juice and count out the bread, all to the Glory of God.
Tech Team
This is the team that sets up and runs all of the technical aspects of Sunday service at the school - audio, lights, cameras, slides. Part of this role is simply plugging in cords where they're labeled to be plugged in, running stools and stands to where they belong and then reversing that process to clean up. During service, the technical side really kicks in and slides are displayed, sound is adjusted, etc. If you are at all interested in serving on this team, we would love to have you shadow on a Sunday morning. There is a lot you can help with, even if you aren't a tech whizz. Don't get me wrong - we definitely need the whizzes, too!
BCF Kids
BCF Kids is where it all starts! This ministry exists to train children to be lovers of His Word and committed members of His Kingdom. We are always looking for people who love to spend time pouring into the hearts of our youngest members, ages birth through fifth grade. The 3 main goals of this team are to teach the Word, love the child, and keep them safe. We need people to teach and lead a group, people to assist the lead teachers, as well as people to help with administrative tasks from time to time. We also need help setting up these fun and inviting spaces before church and then cleaning up after.
Overflow Student Ministry
Overflow seeks to connect students to God and each other; equip them to winsomely engage the culture while standing firm in their faith; and reach a lost world that needs the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We meet every Wednesday night at the Annex, as well as periodically at other times for community-building or discipleship activities. The Overflow team serves as support for the students alongside the family ministries pastor - leading a small group, leading worship, and helping pick up or prepare food to enjoy together.
Care Team
One of the biggest blessings of living in community with others is being able to walk alongside them in trials and times of need. This team has the privilege of being the hands and feet of Jesus when it's needed the most. Providing meals to those who have suffered loss or illness or even welcomed a new baby, sitting with a person after surgery or giving them a ride to the store, visiting someone while homebound, or whatever else may be needed. The BCF family of believers truly desires to surround each other in love and hospitality. We have a heart for serving those who need to be uplifted or encouraged, often in very practical ways.
Prayer Team
The church is called to unceasing prayer. The prayer team holds weekly prayer groups with the goal of developing prayer habits, they pray for the needs of the church, as well as our area, nation and world. This team also attends and supports the monthly prayer nights held on the first Sunday of each month.
Events Team
As a church plant, we do a lot of moving! This team helps make our events happen. From planning to execution, there are a variety of tasks on this team. We need detail-oriented people who are gifted in organization and planning. We need people with an eye for design who can help design flyers and other printed materials. But we also need people willing to move tables and chairs, blow up balloons, put everything in place, and take out the trash and clean up afterwards. Events range from ministry events to community-building celebrations.
Multimedia and Photography Team
Do you dabble in photography or videography? Do you have experience with webpages or social media? This team is responsible for documenting and celebrating important milestones in the life of our church, as well as helping spread the Gospel through tools such as social media.
