It's proven that we find our purest fulfillment and joy when we serve God in the unique place He has prepared us for. It’s there that we feel energized, full of purpose and motivated. And that’s where God showers each of us with His blessings.
That’s what MINISTRY MOBILIZATION is all about -- helping people discover that special place of service. Ministry Mobilization does this through:
Discovery Workshops
Intensive study to discover each person’s passions, spiritual gifts and personal styles, followed by a one-on-one consultation to facilitate entry into ministry. (Led by Dan Huffer, 458-8081 or dhuffer@verizon.net)
Discovery Centers/Ministry Expo
Periodic ministry displays in the Chapel lobby sponsored by various ministries at which people can learn about those ministries and the serving opportunities they offer. (Led by Pat Hogan, 432-3959)
Volunteer Appreciation
Encouraging volunteers by demonstrating that they are appreciated through an annual celebration and regular expressions of appreciation. (Led by Terri Dolson, 699-4140 or tdolson@believerschapel.org)
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Try a First Serve Experience!
One of the main barriers to volunteering is that people are reluctant to make long-term commitments before they fully understand what they’re committing to. Makes sense, doesn’t it? First Serve is a means to remove this barrier by helping people discover more about their gifts, interests and skills as they serve at Believers’ Chapel. In other words, First Serve encourages learning by doing. The First Serve mantra is: Come once and check it out. No strings attached.
You can have a First Serve experience by just expressing an interest in one, trying out an area of ministry once or twice and then making a decision.
To find a First Serve Experience that might be right for you, please contact John Quiggle at 652-0273 or johnmasada@yahoo.com. (It‘s strongly recommended that anyone who hasn’t participated in a Discovery Workshop complete a Personal Strengths Assessment to get some direction on their passions, spiritual gifts and personal styles before participating in a First Serve Experience. )
