Serving the local community means to bring glory to God rather than ourselves. One of the best ways to live like Jesus is to serve others. Serving in the local community can take various forms, but the Bible can help us narrow down our options by identifying our spiritual gifts. Explore the many ways you can make a difference at Harvest Church.
IT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION
Have an idea where to serve?
We have a variety of serve teams. Wherever you feel is right for you, we encourage you to take the next step. Look from our options below and decide where you would like to serve today!
Don't know where to serve?
Sometimes we feel that tug to serve, but don't know where. Try selecting the teams you feel are close to your personality style and your core hobbies/careers.
Worship
Worship is an integral part of ministry. Worship invites God's presence, enabling us to experience God. If you are vocally or musically gifted sign up today!
Audio & Visual
In many churches, the tech is just as important to worship as the worship leader and musicians. The inclusion of audiovisual equipment into a worship service can create an engaging experience. Interested in cameras, audio, or studio broadcasting? Join today!
Greeters
Greeters are responsible for greeting people as they arrive. But more than that, they are responsible for creating a warm, caring, and genuine atmosphere for friendship and fellowship. Join today!
Security and Parking
People come to church expecting an experience. They cannot fully engage in the worship experience if there is an underlying anxiety that it is not a safe space. Members will feel secure knowing that someone is protecting them and their families. Join our team today!
Cleaning
A dirty church is not a pleasant place to worship. People do not want to worry about getting sick by entering a building. It is important to clean a church like any other establishment so that worshipers feel welcome and safe. Join our team today!
Cafe Team
The purpose of the Garage Cafe is to bring a sense of community and fellowship to the members of our congregation. Additionally, you get to be a part of different fundraising opportunities that allow us to give back to the community. Join our team today!
Evangelism
The main objective of evangelism is to allow people who have not heard of or accepted the gospel of Christ the opportunity to hear the gospel and respond to it. Our team heads out to the streets with one goal in mind; for those we encounter to know how to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and live a life that is pleasing to Him. Join our team today!
Pastoral Care
Interested in visiting prisons, hospitals, and doing home visits for those in need? The Pastoral Care team is responsible for visiting those in need and praying over their lives, their families, and their situation. Take the opportunity today and become a difference maker!
Youth Team
Volunteerism teaches compassion, self-sacrifice, and to love our neighbors as ourselves–all lessons that are central to a successful ministry. When you take the step to serve in youth ministry, you can inspire the next generation of engaged change-makers.
Childrens Team
Those who serve kids are choosing to invest in others during their most impressionable years. If you serve in kid’s ministry you can make an eternal impact by giving kids a tangible expression of God’s love. As a kid’s ministry leader, your consistent presence in the life of kids sends a strong signal of God’s consistent and faithful love. Join our team today!
Food Pantry
Our food pantry is a community-based program that collects and safely stores food and other products for free distribution to low-income families and members of the community in need. If you want to make a significant impact on the community this is a great ministry to serve in. It allows you to work directly with those in need and to be a true blessing. Make a difference and join our team today!
Outreach Team
In collaboration with Salvage Our City, we do outreaches across the state of NJ. Our outreaches take place in parks, parking lots, and just about anywhere the Lord leads us to minister. We are always looking for volunteers to help us out. If this sounds like something you would be interested in join today!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Use your unique gifts to help build the Kingdom.
People come to church expecting a life changing experience. Serving produces compassion, self-sacrifice, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. The one commonality amongst all humans is the desire to feel like a sense of belonging. When you serve at Harvest Church you have the opportunity to put the character of Jesus on display.
