Service and Outreach at Fresh Encounter Church
Partnering together to make a difference.
One of the best ways to get connected is to get involved. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we have a place for you. Discover what so many of our volunteers have found: there is a joy in being a part of the mission at Fresh Encounter Church. We invite you to try serving just once in any ministry area that interests you - no long-term commitment required until you find the perfect fit!
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10
Guest Services
Volunteers on our Welcome Team help create a warm, inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through our doors. Serve on Sunday mornings as a greeter, at our welcome desk, or on our coffee & donuts team. These roles are essential for creating that first impression and helping both newcomers and regular attendees feel at home at Fresh Encounter Church.
Children's Ministry
Our Children's Ministry creates a fun, safe environment where kids learn about God while parents fully engage in worship. Serve with our Sunday morning teams in Nursery (Newborn-Age 3), Basecamp (ages 4-7), or Trailblazers (ages 7-10), or join our Wednesday night Awanas program. With ready-to-use lesson plans and various roles available—whether teaching, assisting teachers as a helper, caring for little ones, or leading games—there's a perfect spot for anyone who has a heart for helping children grow in their faith.
Youth Ministry
If you have a heart for middle and high school students, our Youth Ministry provides a wonderful opportunity to make an impact! Help our teens dive deeper into God's Word and grow in their relationship with Christ through meaningful connections and Biblical teaching. Whether you enjoy leading discussions, mentoring, or simply being a positive presence, your involvement can help shape the next generation of believers at Fresh Encounter Church.
Discipleship & Adults
Play an active role in the spiritual growth journey of others within our church family. Whether teaching, leading discussions, hosting gatherings in your home, or facilitating a small group, your involvement can create spaces where authentic community and meaningful spiritual growth happen. Help others deepen their relationship with Christ through intentional discipleship and fellowship opportunities.
