Serve

Serve with Us! 

There are so many ways to plug in and serve here at First United Methodist Church. Our amazing volunteers help all areas of our church run smoothly. Here are just a few of the ways you can plug in and serve:

Committees

Our various committees function as leadership teams within our church. Some committees, such as Missions, Worship, and Hospitality, are open to anybody, at any time! Other committee members are elected positions (indicated with an asterisk*). Nominate yourself or someone else to serve on a committee for 2024 by reaching out to Pastor Shannon.

  • Communication/Technology: Are you good with technology? How about graphic design or social media? Help out with website updates, social media, graphics, and media for Sunday mornings.
  • Education: Discuss curriculum, events for children and teens, and discipleship at all age levels.
  • Finance*: Do you have a head for numbers, a love of budgets, and a passion for generosity? Join our Finance team!
  • Hospitality: Do you love food and serving others? Assist with Fellowship Lunches and Funeral Dinners on our Kitchen Crew.
  • Nominations Committee*: If you see the leadership potential in others, nominate them to serve and lead in areas of the church.
  • Missions: A perfect way to get involved if you have a passion for service, outreach, and community involvement.
  • Treehouse Preschool Board: The Treehouse Preschool is a ministry of our church. Help plan preschool events, support staff and parents, and guide the direction of our preschool ministry.
  • Security: Keep others safe as they come to worship.
  • Trustees*: Our Board of Trustees oversees all property management, maintenance, and repairs.
  • Worship: Plan for each liturgical season, decorate the altar, prepare for special events in worship, and give input to worship design and direction.
  • Staff Pastor Parish Relations Committee*: The SPPRC acts as our personnel committee or HR department.
