The number of people coming into the church buildings on Sunday mornings has increased by close to 30% in the past 12 months and so we are planning to introduce a second service on September 15, 2024 to make room for growth. To do this well, we anticipate we will need an additional 80 volunteers worked into our weekly Sunday volunteer rotation. The greatest areas of need are listed below.

Connect: We are looking for an additional 30-35 volunteers to serve as outside door greeters, inside door greeters, parking lot security, building security, or giving centre hosts. For all roles (excluding security positions) they will need to be present at the building between 8:30-9:15 am (first service) or 10:45-11:15 am (second service) and the commitment can be as little as once every six weeks.

Children's Ministry: We are looking for an additional 18-20 volunteers to serve as nursery workers, toddler-Grade 3 classroom teachers or assistants, buddies to support those with diverse needs, check-in/registration. The current commitment is from 9:45-11:15 am but in the fall volunteers will need to be present from 8:45 -10:15 am (first service) or 10:45 am -12:15 pm (second service). The commitment can be as little as once every six weeks.

Post-Service Prayer: We are looking for an additional 8-10 mature Jesus-followers who would be willing to meet with and pray with people after one of the services. The time commitment would be to attend the entire service and then be available 9:45-10:15 am for prayer (first service) or 11:45 am - 12:15 pm for prayer (second service). The commitment can be as little as once every six weeks.

Hospitality/Café: We are looking for 6-10 people to be either bakers, servers, coffee makers, table dismantlers. The time commitment is 8:00 - 10:30 am (first service) or 11:30 am - 12:30 pm (second service). The commitment can be as little as once every six weeks.

Tech: We are looking for 5-10 people to serve as Pro Presenter operators, camera switchers, sound technicians, and livestream audio managers. The time commitment will vary depending on each role but the commitment frequency can be as little as once every six weeks.

These are some of the pressing needs we anticipate as we introduce a second service in September but there are many more areas to serve in the church than this. Our ultimate hope is that each person will find a place of purpose and belonging as we seek to live out the vision of JHC, "Making Jesus known in every community God places us." We believe that serving in the church is not only something every Jesus follower is called to do, but also a God-ordained path toward deeper Christian community and sense of purpose.
