Audio Ministry - Rob Raynys

     This area of service is directly tied to worship.  A wise man once said, "The best electronic sounds devices are those that no one notices."  While we have found that is is impossible to please everyone, it is our job to make sure that the electronic sound does not detract from our focus on Him.

     This area of service requires being at worship practices as well as the services.  We balance the different singers and instruments to make the sound as pleasant and worshipful as possible.  We provide "on the job training" and rotate in teams.  For more information, please contact the church office at 721-7388.

Greeter's Ministry - Cliff Thomas

     Ps. 84:1, 10 - states, "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty!... I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked."

     The purpose of the Greeter's Ministry at Beach Fellowship is to foster a welcoming and friendly environment for every person who comes through our doors.  These may be our special "church family" or "guests", who have come for one reason or another.  Whatever the case may be, our aim in the greeter ministry is that people see the love of Jesus in us.  We are the "doorkeeper" in the house of our Father.  This is a one-another, face-to-face, hand-to-hand, heart-to-heart ministry.  Just as Christ has received us with unconditional love, we accept each and every person who comes through our doors just as they are.  Because we are the "first impression" of our church family, we have a wonderful opportunity to touch every heart that enters Beach Fellowship.

     If you enjoy meeting new people and want to get to know those familiar faces that you see every week, we have a place just for you.  We will provide you the information and training you need.  Just bring your enthusiasm, a warm, friendly smile and a tender heart.  To get involved, please call the church office at 721-7388.

Grounds Ministry - Bob Hatton

     The purpose of the Grounds Ministry is to glorify God by keeping beautiful all that He has given us.  We are called to be faithful stewards of all that God has entrusted us with, and we have been extremely blessed here at Beach Fellowship with beautiful grounds.  We work with our hands in order to fulfill the principle found in the book of I Thessalonians 4:11-12 - "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands, just as we (Paul, Silas and Timothy) so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody".

     Taking care of the lawn or grounds is a ministry that involves primarily mowing and trimming the lawn, weeding the flowerbeds, mulching, and blowing the grass of the parking lot.  We also do a few other things as well, such as trimming the hedges, or special projects.  One special project is taking care of the Preschool Playground, as this is part of a ministry of the church as well.  We set up a calendar each season, and during the warm months, each member of the crew usually serves once every 5-6 weeks.  We have teams set up with a team leader on each to oversee the ministry.  To get involved, please call the church office at 721-7388.

Information Booth

     Our purpose is to provide information about the ministry and directional information to our visiting guests.  Also, resources such as books, audio teaching media and mints are available for purchase at the information booth.  We are full of smiles and make it our aim to assist those who are new in finding their way.  For more information, please contact the church office at 721-7388.

Maintenance

     Work ranges from coordinating repairs to performing minor maintenance such as carpentry repairs, plumbing repairs, and electrical repairs.

     If you have expertise in any of these or other areas, please contact the office and we will keep a list of those that are willing and able to help out when needed.  Note: The very nature of maintenance and repairs many times (not always) requires assistance at a moments notice.  For more information, please contact the church office at 721-7388.

Praise and Worship Ministry - Jody Williams

     To get involved, please call the church office at 721-7388 and ask for Jody Williams.

Prayer Ministry

     Our purpose is to provide a regular, weekly format for prayer requests for Beach Fellowship members and their families, co-workers, and friends.  Oftentimes people in our community reach out to us as Christians, hoping we have a connection with God in prayer.  It is a privilege to bridge the gap for these folks in a time when they are vulnerable and open to the Gospel.  When the needs are urgent, we have a list of 30 people who can be called to get prayer started immediately.  For more information, please contact the church office at 721-7388.

Small Groups Ministry - Ray Bjorkman

     A Small Group is a group of about 5-15 people who meet regularly and are committed to the strengthening of Christian community through loving and serving one another in the love of God.  It is a spiritual gathering where the presence of Christ and the dynamics of His Church are realized.

     Our purpose is to provide an atmosphere that is safe, inviting and dynamic to those within the Christian community and those who are not.

     We believe the small group exists for at least eight (8) significant reasons:

1) They meet the need for a biblical pattern.
2) They meet the need for interpersonal relationships.
3) They meet the need for recognizing and developing leaders.
4) They meet the need for effective pastoral oversight.
5) They meet the need for individual expression.
6) They meet the need for accelerated spiritual growth.
7) They meet the need for effective evangelism.
8) They meet the need for releasing believers into ministry.

     If you have a heart for small groups and would like to eventually lead one (even if you don't have experience), then by all means, please contact the church office at 721-7388.

Usher Ministry - Roger Gibson

     The ministry of ushering is an important part of the larger scheme of things here at Beach Fellowship.  Ushers use their gifts primarily on Sunday mornings and are needed for a variety of reasons.  Ushers find seating for people, as the sanctuary becomes full, assist anyone who might need practical help, receive the offering and a host of other practical tasks.

     The purpose of Ushering is to serve the church and glorify the Lord in all things however small or trivial the task.  For more information, please contact the church office at 721-7388.
