Grounded · Belong · Going

We were made to
give ourselves away.

Serving at Living Word isn’t about filling a role. It’s about finding a people — and discovering that your ordinary Tuesday can change someone’s week.

Service is a core part of following Jesus. We’re called to make disciples — and disciples are people being transformed into the image of Christ for the sake of others. That “for the sake of others” piece shapes everything about how we serve here. Serving looks different for everyone, so there are a lot of ways to get connected.

“We share Jesus’ love in our neighborhoods.” That’s not a slogan — it’s a description of what we’re actually doing every week.

Serve Inside

Belong

These teams make Sunday happen and keep the community running the other six days. Serving alongside people builds relationships you can’t manufacture any other way.

Worship Team
Vocalists, instrumentalists, tech support
Music, vocals, and creative arts — leading the congregation into worship each Sunday.
AV / Technical Team
Sundays, some weeknights for events
Sound, projection, streaming, and video. Training provided — willingness to learn is the main requirement.
Guest Services / Greeters
Both service times
First face a guest sees. High value, low barrier to entry. Belong starts in the parking lot.
KidConnect
Sunday mornings, some midweek

Sunday evenings and youth events
Middle and high school ministry. Small group leaders, event support, relationship building with teenagers.
