Serve and ministry teams
Bring what you have. Join work that matters.
Ministry teams bring people together around a specific church or community need. Some are ongoing, others form for a season, and each offers a practical way to serve alongside others.
How teams work
A role should fit the person.
Serving is one way we practice faith, build relationships, and share responsibility for the life of the church and our community.
Some teams are open to anyone. Others require training, a background check, particular experience, or an invitation because of the people or information involved. Teams may be long-term, short-term, or created when a new need arises.
The Church Advisory Council reviews ministry teams and may form new ones as needs change. That flexibility lets FBC respond without expecting every volunteer to make an indefinite commitment.
Places to begin
Church and community.
These areas reflect the ways FBC members currently serve. The church office can confirm which teams are active, what help is needed now, and whether any training is required.

Needs change. Your next step stays simple.
Volunteer openings, partner requests, and material wish lists change throughout the year. The church office can help you find a current need that fits your interests, availability, and experience.
Tell staff what interests you, how much time you have, and whether you prefer an occasional project or an ongoing team. You do not need to know the name of a ministry before reaching out.
Interested in leading or proposing a team?
Contact the church office with the need you see, the people it would serve, and the kind of help required. Staff can connect the idea with the appropriate ministry leaders or the Church Advisory Council.
