Serve in Missions

 
Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few” (Matthew 9:37).

Ongoing Opportunities to Serve in Missions:

• The Barnabas Project
  A ministry of encouragement to 3rd - 5th graders at Southern Pines Elementary School. 

We are always in need of volunteers who are willing to open up their hearts to children through this ministry. If you are willing to donate some time after school once a week to tutor, or are willing to have a child or children sit with you during Wednesday night supper, it would mean so much to them. Call Sandy Gary (see your membership directory for phone number). 
       

• Intercessory Prayer Ministry
  Sign up to pray one hour a week in our Intercessory Prayer Room. 

The Prayer Chapel is available for all. It is open during office hours and on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. There are available spots for volunteers to participate in the Intercessory Prayer Ministry. If you have an hour a week you could devote to intercessory prayer in the chapel for the requests we receive, please contact the church office at 692-8750. 
  

• Family Promise
  A ministry to homeless children and their families which provides overnight lodging, meals and hospitality. 

We partner with other churches in our area, as we each "take turns" hosting the families for one week at a time. Each church is called to serve every few months. We need volunteers to prepare meals, provide transportation, and stay overnight (with your spouse or another church member of the same gender). Please complete this form if you are interested in volunteering.
