SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

Church isn’t just about attending a service on Sundays, although we hope you do. Instead, it is a place to get involved in the community and grow your faith. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy for individuals and families to become isolated.

 

The Christian and Presbyterian conviction is that a true life of faith in Christ is lived out in community. The renewing, transforming Spirit of Life does its best work when the walls that divide us are broken down, and that, as Jesus promises, “where two or three are gathered, there I am also.”

 

Here are some of the ongoing opportunities for personal outreach and service to others.

CLOSE TO HOME

FOOD PANTRY

Our Food Pantry is open two Sundays a month, beginning at 12:15pm.  For more information on how you can donate or how to volunteer to work with the Pantry crew, please call (865) 662-6252 and someone will call you back.

THRIFT SHOP

Our thrift shop is open on Mondays from 10 a.m to 1 p.m and every first and third Saturday a Month from 10 a.m to 1 p.m

GREETER AND USHER VOLUNTEERS

If you'll be at a Service, you can pitch in by helping greet people as the enter the Sanctuary. You can also serve as an Usher by helping collect the offering. Please sign up in advance on a clipboard in the Sanctuary or just pitch in if you see help is needed.

SERVICE MASTER

Please pick a Sunday to help keep everything running smoothly. The Service Master of the day has several duties, but they are all listed on a checklist and easy enough for anyone to handle. Plus, there's always someone around to help if you have questions.

AUDIO AND VISUAL SUPPORT

Want to sit in a reserved seat in the back of the Sanctuary one Sunday? Why not learn how to advance the slides or work the sound board? It would be great to have a few folks ready to step in if ever needed. Could that be you?
