Hospitality

We welcome people to Uptown Church and help them get connected into our spiritual family. We greet people as they enter, staff the Welcome Center, oversee post-service coffee, and we assist with collecting the offering and preparing communion.

"It gives me such joy to support and connect with people. God uses me as I shake hands and offer warm smiles."
    First Serve Opportunity:
  • Serve as a greeter
  • Help facilitate the post-service coffee time

Outreach and Events

We do our best to put our faith into action to serve and love our community well. We want to be active participants in dismantling systems of injustice and also relational conduits of the love of Jesus. We offer opportunities to serve our neighbors in a variety of ways; hosting outreach events ourselves while also partnering with local organizations.

  • Assist a small group leader
  • Open up your home to host a small group

Worship

We are committed to leading people into authentic, heartfelt worship encounters with Jesus. We help the church connect with the Holy Spirit through corporate worship together.

“I’ve grown so much both as a musician and a person through being on the worship team! I feel more equipped with boldness and freedom, open to letting God do work in me.”

  • Set up and tear down the stage and sound equipment
  • Sit in on a Thursday night practice
 
 

Media

We provide media of all kinds to help Uptown Church share the gospel. We produce graphics/videos, web and social media, record/process sermons, and update the website. Each Sunday service, we also set up and run visual presentations for lyrics and sermons.

    First Serve Opportunity:
  • Help run the Sunday Service presentation

Facilities

We have the privilege of preparing our space for each person that comes through our doors. This includes setting/cleaning chairs, tables, dividers, signs, and making sure the facilities are clean and presentable. We help make Uptown Church a welcoming home so people will feel comfortable, loved, and encounter Jesus.

"Helping out with facilities is more than just a task, it is ministry. I love praying over every chair I set up on Sundays."
