SERVE IN THE CHURCH
“Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of services but the same Lord, and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.” – 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
Hope provides a number of ways to put your faith in action by serving both inside and outside the church. Below are some ways to share your gifts for ministry at Hope, including contact information and links to sign up to serve. If you have any questions, contact the lead for each area of ministry or call the church office at 248-553-7170.

AUDIO/VISUAL TEAM

Are you interested in learning more about worship audio and/or visual? If so, we're training and no previous experience is needed. Join a fun, behind-the-scenes team while volunteering on Sundays or at special events.

Hope's Child Care is an essential part of our community with many families preferring to worship while their little ones are well cared for. Volunteers are needed for our 11am service Sunday mornings. Middle school and high school teens are welcome to volunteer as well as adults. Please note that anyone 18 and over must have a background check and take our Abuse Prevention Training.

You heard that right ... coffee. Can't live without that smell of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee and we can't have a coffee bar without volunteers. We're looking for 2 volunteers each Sunday service (9am & 11am). Volunteers for 9am are asked to arrive no later than 8:30am to set up with a shift from 8:30am-10:30am. Volunteers for 11am are asked to arrive no later than 10:30am for a shift from 10:30am-12:30pm with clean up after 12pm worship.
-
Communion Distribution volunteers help during Communion at each worship service by holding a Communion Tray and saying "The blood of Christ shed for you". This is done beside the table in conjunction with the Pastor(s). Please note that this does not entail setting up the trays.
-
FAITH FORMATION
LEAD: REBECCA TRULAND | EMAIL
Take an active role in being and making disciples by teaching or leading a book group, Bible Study, or volunteer to help with Children, Youth, or Teen Ministry. If interested in helping lead an existing group, or perhaps starting a new faith formation ministry, please contact Pastor Rebecca.

Readers support Worship Assistants by reading Scripture during each service or during dramatic readings. Text is provided in advance and you might read in person, either sitting within the congregation or by coming up front. Readers may also be asked to record their text as an audio recording.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday School, held at 11am most Sundays September through May, is always looking for volunteers who love to work with kids age Pre-K through 4th grade.

If you're looking to play a part in a welcoming team then ushering may be for you! This team is a crucial part of every service and volunteers are always welcome. Ushers welcome and invite everyone into the Sanctuary as well as answer questions as they arise. They also assist in collecting the offering and provide communion direction.
