Interested in serving?
- Mentoring Opportunity. If you are interested in mentoring someone who is younger in their faith, or if you desire to be mentored in your own faith journey, please reach out to Pastor Mac Miller. Mentoring can be a powerful way to grow deeper in your relationship with Christ while also helping someone else grow in their faith. We were never meant to walk this journey alone.
- We are looking for volunteers to help with recording, editing, and publishing our Bible studies and Sunday messages. There are several different ways you can help. Some volunteers will help operate the recording equipment and push the buttons, while others can help with editing and publishing the recordings. No experience is necessary! Training will be provided. You don’t have to know anything about audio or video—we’ll teach you what you need to know. If you would be interested in serving in this ministry, please let us know. This is a great opportunity to use your time and talents to help share God’s Word with others, both inside and outside our church.
- We’d Love Your Feedback! We would love to hear your feedback about adding a telephone communication system to our church. Those who have experienced this type of service in other churches have shared the benefits of being able to receive phone calls with church updates, upcoming events, devotional messages, prayer reminders, and other important information. We are also looking for someone who would be willing to oversee the system, including adding new phone numbers and keeping our contact list updated. Please let us know your thoughts. We would love to hear whether you feel this would be a helpful way for us to stay connected and communicate with our church family.
- The Giles Mission Food Pantry is always in need of donations. If you have canned foods, you are welcome to bring them to church service and deposit them in a box in foyer. They will be delivered to the mission. ex. Cereal, hamburger or tuna helper, canned fruit, canned soup, crackers, etc.
- Please share your God-given talents and volunteer to serve in our Church Ministries. Please let Mac Miller know of any ideas you may have.
