Oakhill Serves

Oakhill Serves is our commitment to being an active, engaged church family—one where everyone has a place and a purpose. From Sunday mornings to weekday ministries and special events, we believe the church thrives when its people serve together. Whether welcoming guests, supporting our worship gatherings, or helping behind the scenes, every act of service helps our church run with excellence and creates an environment where lives can be changed. Oakhill Serves is more than volunteering; it’s stepping into the mission God has given us and playing a vital part in what He is doing in and through our church.

Areas of Service Include:

• Chair Setup Teams - Teams meet on Friday evening or Saturday for about 30 - 45 minutes to prepare the Worship Center for Sunday morning services. We are currently on a five-week rotation for this group. This is a great way to begin serving in the church if you are looking for a place to plug in! 
• Van Ministry – This ministry helps ensure that anyone who wants to attend church but lacks transportation can still be part of our worship services. Volunteers make phone calls on Saturdays to confirm riders and plan the pickup route for Sunday morning. On Sunday, you’ll stop by the church to pick up a church van, then drive to collect riders and bring them to church in time for the 9:30 service.
• Greeters - Welcome our church family and guests with a kind "good morning" and hand them a bulletin as they enter the worship center! We have two teams that greet for about 25 minutes before each of our services. 
• Welcome Desk - Serve as a friendly point of contact during our worship services! You will assist church families and guests by answering questions, providing directions, and helping with event sign-ups. We have individuals scheduled to "man the desk" during each of our services. 
• Coffee Bar - If you enjoy a good cup of coffee, this one is for you! Prepare our coffee for our worship services before the 8:00 service starts and refill as needed throughout the morning. 
• Safety Team - Help create a safe and warm environment for church attendees. We have a handful of individuals scheduled for each service to monitor the halls and the worship center. Training will be provided!
• Event Set Up / Tear Down Team - We have so many special events throughout the year that require a little extra work! We are looking to form a list of people to call when it's time to set up and tear down! If you have the gift of serving, this one is for you!
• Work Day Team - We occasionally have special projects around our church and are forming a list of those who might enjoy getting their hands dirty from time to time! 
• Lawn Mowing Team - During the warm months, we have teams on a monthly rotation to cut the grass at our North Campus. All of the supplies are provided; we just need the people! Training provided!

Family Ministries

Family Ministries is all about investing in the next generation by serving our children and students with love, encouragement, and biblical truth. From Sunday morning classes to Wednesday night programs, our children have regular opportunities to learn, grow, and experience God’s Word in a fun and meaningful way. Our students also gather on Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights, and Sunday nights, creating multiple spaces for discipleship, connection, and service. Whether teaching, assisting, mentoring, or simply showing up with a heart to serve, being part of Family Ministries allows you to help shape young lives and support families as they grow in their faith.

Areas of Service Include:

• Children's Ministry* - Opportunities to serve include Sunday morning nursery volunteers, Wednesday night AWANA volunteers, and UPWARD volunteers!
  • Kids Life Group Leaders – Every week, caring volunteers teach children during our 9:30 and 11:00 am services using a fun, Bible-based curriculum. Life Group Leaders have a huge impact on the kids in our church—helping them learn God’s Word and grow in faith.
  • Nursery Volunteers – Each Sunday, our rotating team of nursery volunteers cares for our youngest children, showing them the love of Jesus while parents enjoy worship at the 9:30 or 11:00 am services.
  • AWANA – AWANA is our kids’ discipleship program that meets on Wednesday evenings during the school year. Children learn God’s Word, memorize verses, play games, and build strong friendships. There are many roles for volunteers—teachers, listeners, helpers, and recreation leaders.
  •  Upward Sports Ministry – Upward basketball and cheerleading is one of our biggest ministries! Volunteers help shape young players by coaching or assisting in coaching them, teaching skills on the court, and biblical principles for life. Other roles include refereeing, keeping score, selling concessions, and setting up for games.
  • Special Events – Throughout the year, we host exciting events to encourage and connect with families—like our Easter Egg Hunt, Summer VBS, and Fall Festival. Volunteers help set up, serve food, engage with kids and families, and make these events unforgettable!
• Student Ministry* - Opportunities to serve include Wednesday and Sunday night volunteers, as well as special event volunteers. 
  
  • Sunday Morning Bible Study (SMBS) Teachers – Each Sunday morning the students hear a lesson taught during the 9:30 am service. We are looking for men who are excited to teach the
    Word and relate the stories of the bible to the lives of our students. We use Lifeway curriculum to guide teachers in studying and preparing their lessons.
  • Sunday Night Student Gathering – This time serves as the traditional youth gathering – playing games, worship through song, hearing the Word preached, then more games and hangout time to
    finish the night. I would love for adults to join us and connect with the students! Play games, chat, and catch up on life, all of it, so that our students may be connected and feel welcome in the
    student ministry. We meet each Sunday night from 5:00-7:00 pm.
  • Wednesday Night Student Life Groups – Our students gather and break into life groups based on class and gender. There are four groups: middle school and high school boys, and middle school
    and high school girls. Adult leaders are the backbone of these groups. We teach through another Lifeway lesson guide and encourage discussion and conversation that revolves around the lesson
    or topics of life. It is my desire for students to talk about their walks with God and their day-to-day lives. This time is great for leaders to meet the students at a personal level and support them.
    These groups meet when AWANNA meets, 6:00-7:30 pm.
  • Special Events – Our student ministry has periodic trips and events where volunteers are needed to help! We go out of town for some day trips during the summer, camp for five days,
    and retreat for a weekend. We also stay in town for Dnow weekend, Middle School Mission Week, pool parties, and a few other little events. These are great opportunities to connect with
    students and be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

*All areas in which you work with children require you to attend Oakhill for six months, and a background check must be completed.
