Volunteer at Central

Everyone is welcome. No exceptions. This is not only an invitation to Central’s worshipping community, but an invitation into a community of service. A common thread you will hear, and hopefully feel, is that this is a place that practices radical hospitality for all who enter. There are a number of ways to volunteer, namely in the areas of worship, faith formation, the Restoration Center, administration, and hospitality.

Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone who wants to can volunteer at Central! If you:

have a gift to share
are looking to experience God
want to find what brings you joy
want to bring joy to others
are looking to fulfill community service
want to serve in an area where you are comfortable
want to reach out and try something new

You can make that first step by stopping at the Welcome Desk, calling the Church Office, or sending an email to Karen Knox. We will help you find a place through conversations, tours, and engagement. You won’t have to explore these opportunities alone; we will walk with you.

Opportunities to serve

Different seasons call for more help in specific areas of the church and our life together. But all year round, our volunteers are providing services and hospitality. Here are a few areas that are looking for some extra support right now.

Prayer Chain

The Prayer Chain prays for the needs of the congregation. Volunteers receive a weekly email of people and situations to include in prayer.

Quilters for Lutheran World Relief (LWR)

Central’s quilters are an important part of our overall global mission. Quilters meet for a few hours on the first Wednesday and Thursday of each month to enjoy food and fellowship while making quilts to be given to neighbors near and far.

Ushers

Ushers are dedicated individuals with a heart for hospitality. They create a welcoming and engaging worship experience. We will work with your schedule to find a time to help. No experience is necessary.

Creation Care Ambassadors

Central Cares for Creation (C3) Ministry Team encourages us to respect, conserve, and care for God’s creation. Restore. Reuse. Recycle. We need volunteers to serve as ambassadors for community meals on Mondays and Thursdays.

Sunday Welcome Desk Ambassadors

Welcome Desk volunteers create a positive first impression for guests and welcome members. They greet people, answer questions, and offer assistance. The time commitment is one Sunday per quarter.

Special Events Greeters

We host special events throughout the year (concerts, lectures, funerals, etc.) and welcome visitors. As a volunteer you can listen to beautiful music, thought-provoking lectures, and support families on a difficult day. You can choose which events and times to help.

Annual Church Picnic Helpers

We will gather for our annual church picnic on Sunday, August 24, following the 10:30 a.m. worship service. This will be a great time for food and fellowship and to celebrate our life together as a community. Volunteers are needed to make this a fun event.
