opportunities to use the gifts god has given you...
God has given each person abilities and passions "just as he determines". His intention is that each person would use the gifts He's given you, in a way that all the individual members of His Body (the Church) would work together in unity as a whole. When this happens, the outcome is a healthy Church. And a healthy Church brings glory to God!

worship ministry
Worship Musician
Using vocal and instrumental gifts in the worship setting is a challenging opportunity in that the worship team can easily be seen as the focus of attention, while its role is to direct everyone's attention toward Jesus. We sing current Christian songs and contemporary versions of hymns during our worship services. The instruments we use typically include: voices, guitar, keyboards, drums, and bass. Other instruments could be used when appropriate.

Power Point Creator / Operator
People process information differently. Some prefer to hear information, while others like to see it. We use Power Point as a visual means of presenting what is also being spoken or sung during our worship services. Some of the data that would be projected includes: song lyrics, Scripture readings, and sermon supplements. Typically, the same person who creates Power Point presentations for a worship service would also operate the computer throughout the service.

Communion Assistant
We celebrate The Lord's Supper on the third Sunday of each month. If you have the gift of serving, perhaps you'd like to help with setting up the elements used for this sacrament. You would need to arrive about 45 minutes prior to the service for which you're scheduled, and take about 15 minutes afterward to put things away. This task requires a small amount of time, but it is a vital ministry opportunity!

Welcome ministry
Greeter / Usher
We understand how important it is for people to feel welcome and comfortable when they come to Good Shepherd... especially if it's their first time. If you enjoy meeting people, and you've got the gift of hospitality, you might consider joining our Welcome Ministry as a Greeter. We also ask our greeters to perform some other simple tasks during and after the worship service.
