Ministry Team Opportunities  


. . .God’s people working together – the Diaconate and members joining together in service.

Spiritual GiftsThe Diaconate, exploring ways to be more effective in ministry and leadership, has developed a Team Ministry model in the belief that God has gifted every believer for ministry. We have formed seven new Ministry Teams of Deacons and members of the congregation. Here’s an opportunity for you to serve where your gift and passion can make a difference. If you're not sure what your Spiritual Gifts are, we invite you to take the Spiritual Gifts Inventory. If you would like to serve, please call the church office or speak to one of the Team Ministry leaders. Let’s do all we can to make Christ’s work here stronger and more effective.

Hospitality Ministry Team

. . . greeting visitors to our church who are hoping to find warm, friendly people.

You can be a part of this team which will assist visitors in appreciating our church services and meeting members of our congregation. This ministry will work with three teams:

  • The Greeter Team will welcome people into church with a smile and a handshake

  • The Sanctuary Team will sit in assigned areas of the Sanctuary, and introduce visitors to nearby church members.

  • The Hospitality Packet Team will deliver hospitality packets during a home visit, and invite visitors to a Wednesday night supper.


New Member Ministry Team

. . .assimilating new members into the FBCSP family – building a bridge to fellowship.

You can be a part of this team which assists new members for several months as they become involved in our church activities. The New Member Ministry Team will:

  • Meet all new members of FBCSP

  • Deliver new member packets

  • Complete a survey with the new members relating to their interests, gifts, and other pertinent information.

  • The team members will sit with new members in worship, introduce them to other members, and suggest a Sunday School class.


 Care Ministry Team

 . . .caring people with a willingness to give of themselves by providing encouragement and support to others.

You can be involved with this ministry which shepherds and provides assistance, spiritual uplifting, and love to church members. Members of the Care Ministry Team will compliment the role of the Sunday School Class Care Ministry by:

  • providing spiritual care, fellowship, and assistance to families or individuals who are not members of a Sunday School class

  • contacting each person or family regularly by a personal visit, and phone or mail.


Scripture, Prayer, & Communications in Worship Ministry Team

. . . communicating Christ through the spoken word.

This ministry is for you to share your special talents with our church. Composed of four teams:

  • Scripture and Prayer Team will conduct appropriate training in public speaking, and then read Scripture and lead in prayer during worship services.

  • Prayer During Worship Team, in a quiet room apart from the Sanctuary, will pray for God’s guidance and blessing during worship services. Team members will pray with the minister before each worship service, and in a new effort, conduct a program to annually read the entire Bible.

  • Audio Visual Aid Team will provide technical assistance as needed for all Sanctuary activities, including worship services, Bible studies, business meetings, funerals, weddings, and special events.

  • Drama Team will act in dramatic skits during worship services as appropriate.


Wednesday Night Supper Ministry Team

This is an important part of our church family activities. Being a part of this ministry permits you to meet and serve more Christ-loving people in our church. The Wednesday Night Supper Team will:

  • Enlist and schedule various church organizations, Sunday School classes and others to serve dinner and share fellowship during Wednesday night suppers.

  • Use creativity in providing ideas and activities that enhance fellowship and sharing during Wednesday night suppers.


Hospital Visitation Ministry Team

. . . ministering in a special way to members of our congregation who are in the hospital.

We all know the importance of care and prayer during times of illness. Many have the special gift of making others feel the power of prayer and care during times of need. The Hospital Visitation Team will provide friendship and encouragement to hospitalized members, visitors and families through Scripture reading and prayer during weekend hospital visits.


In-Home Care Ministry Team

. . . reaching out to those unable to worship and fellowship with the congregation.

You can become involved in this special ministry to serve those who cannot travel to our church services. Both those who serve and those who receive this time of sharing illuminate God’s love of His people. The In-Home Care Ministry Team will maintain contact with each FBCSP shut-in on a regular basis through personal visits, and phone calls or mail. Communion will be served as requested.
