No volunteer role is more important than the other. That being said, if equipment and materials are not setup it prevents other areas of the church from functioning.

Our “big table” and the break we take around it has become a major part of our gatherings on Sunday mornings. We hope to provide an atmosphere for everyone, especially visitors, to feel welcomed and at home during this time.

Areas of Responsibility:

Layout and display of snack tables:
Ensure the snack table is laid out in an easily understandable and welcoming fashion. “Caution” signs are visible and laid out

Clean up of snack table:
Ensure that all containers, cling wrap and foil are disposed of and that tablecloths are wiped clean. If tablecloths require washing please bring them home to be cleaned (we ask that they are returned by 10AM the following Sunday).

Extra coffee is to be disposed of in the staff room garbage. We ask that the coffee and tea urns also be washed out to remove any old grinds for the brewers.

The time we spend together as a community in worship is something we look forward to every Intermission, among many other things. Worship through music, for many people, is a way to connect with God while in the presence of other Christ followers. It’s important that through our music we create an atmosphere where people can worship unrestricted and without distraction.

Areas of Responsibility:

Schedule & availability:
Our team is growing, but for the moment there will be members of the team that are called on more often than others due to a need in that particular area. Through our booking system, Planning Centre you are able to set your desired frequency for serving so that we never call on you too often.

Blackout dates:
In order to have a consistent flow and rotation, Planning Centre also gives you the ability to set blackout dates based on your availability. If you’re not able to serve on certain Sundays we ask that you please set that in PC. When this happens, we are notified and will not schedule you for those dates. This helps to speed up the process of scheduling and reduces scheduling conflicts.

Practice:
When the list is uploaded to Planning Centre please take the time to listen to the songs, become familiar with them and learn any parts assigned to your instrument. This is your time to work out any kinks.

Rehearsal:
Rehearsal will run from 9:30-10:15 each morning. With this dedicated amount of time it is important that we come ready to play the songs through as though it was time for the service. Full band rehearsal is not the time to learn the song and play it for the first time 🙂 Knowing our parts really well helps contribute to a distraction-free environment where people can focus in and worship freely.

Tear down:
Remove your instruments and pack up as quickly as you can following the message. This ensures that the setup team can get to work putting the equipment away.

Availability: Once every 4 weeks
Arrival Time: 10:15 AM – Welcome
End Time: 11:55 – Final Rounds

For many visitors, a member of the welcome team is often the first point of contact when entering the building. It’s important that we greet each person in a manner that makes him or her feel right at home. A smile and a handshake or pat on the back are often enough to make someone’s day.

Areas of Responsibility:

Greeting at main doors:
Between 10:15 and (roughly) 10:40 you are the first point of contact for people coming to spend the morning with us.

Head Counts:
The fire marshal requires us to know how many people we have in the building at any time. We ask that for the time we are all together in the gym that a quick headcount is conducted and recorded so we can present a number if required of us. Similarly, when The Park students are released to their classes we should tally these numbers and report how many people are in each room.

Hall Monitor:
Twice during our gathering, we ask that you do a “lap” of the school to ensure there is no “suspicious” activity or unauthorized persons entering The Park classrooms. The bathrooms are also to be checked by the appropriate gender.

Availability: 1-2 times every 4-6 weeks
Arrival Time: 12:00 PM – Counting

As Christians, we fully rely on God to provide for our community, this, of course, happens through tithes and offering. It’s through these resources that we give back to the community, partner with other charitable organizations and of course, compensate our staff and other overhead costs. The handling of personal finances is an extremely sensitive task and we expect that anyone in this position conduct themselves with professionalism, keeping all records, tallies, and personal information private and confidential.

Areas of Responsibility:

Counting and Reporting:
Counting should always be conducted with another member of the finance team present. Please pick a quiet location removed from the main gathering space.
Count and tally all contributions from the morning and make record of the totals. Once signed off, please add all funds to the folder and direct to Brent or Joseph.
