Why We Serve…
In response to God serving us, we want to gladly serve Jesus and others with everything we’ve got in all of our lives. That’s what God saved us for! ‘To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father; to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen’ (Rev 1:5-6).
1 group God wants us to serve is Church, and He’s given us all gifts to do that. ‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others’ (1 Peter 4:10). We want to help you use the gifts God’s given you to serve your Church at Salt by joining one of our serving teams.
Where We Serve…
Maybe you can only see 2 or 3 ways to serve at Salt and you might even think we don’t need you. Nothing could be further from the truth! We have 40+ ways to be involved, and we need everyone to serve to make and grow more lifelong disciples of Jesus at Salt. To help you find a good fit between you (your gifts, interests and capacity) and Salt Church (our needs and opportunities) we have serving conversations.
Serving Convos…
Serving convos are a no-pressure 20-40 min chat about ways you could get involved at Salt. We’ll either give you a call, catch up for a coffee, or meet before or after Church (whatever works best). We’ll ask some questions to help you work out the gifts God’s given you and to suggest some best-fit ways you could get involved. From there we’ll put you in contact with the leader of teams you’re interested in, so you can find out more before you commit and get started.
Serving convos don’t have to be a one-time thing; if a role doesn’t work out, you want to serve in another way, or you want to serve more or less, we’d love to chat again. Our aim is not to guilt you, drop you in the deep end with a big responsibility, or sign you up for something you can’t get out of! What we want most is to help you serve God gladly, for your good and for God’s glory.
If you want to have a serving convo email serve@saltchurch.info or tick ‘I’d like to chat about serving’ on your Connection Card on a Sunday.
