How to Start Serving at GracePoint

Where you serve starts with understanding your gifts and passions as well as the needs and opportunities to serve others to help them grow in Christlikeness and to grow God’s mission.
Don’t just look for opportunities to serve based on your gifts and passions. Look for existing ministry needs you could meet in our church community.
On Sunday in our corporate worship together:

  • In your community group.
  • In your personal relationship with others (your peers, your leaders, newcomers/visitors, unbelievers)
  • In the different areas of formal ministry across our church community.


Serving others doesn’t require permission! Just do it!

Speak to your leaders and people around you to find out how you can serve. Ask people who know you well at church how they think you can best serve others formally or informally in our church community?

Volunteer when help is needed. Test the waters by volunteering to be equipped to serve in areas of ministry if you’re unsure how to best serve. That’s how you start discovering and using what God has uniquely gifted you with.

Commit to being a financial partner at GracePoint. Plan and organize to give regularly to support the work of the gospel in our church community.
