Ministry Teams
we serve together
Ministry Teams are one of the three primary ways you can get connected with Fellowship. Ministry Teams are teams of people devoted to using their gifts and passions for a specific task or area of service. These teams provide volunteer support for Fellowship’s staple ministries as well as for our efforts in the local and international community.
Just as assessing your growth need is essential for determining which type of Community Group is best for you, it is important that you consider your giftedness before you sign up for a particular Ministry Team. Our desire is that you’re able to use your greatest passions to meet the needs of others by plugging into a Ministry Team that energizes you. Keep this in mind as you read over the following listing of Ministry Teams, and then be sure to fill out the registration form at the back of this catalog to sign up, and get ready to participate with God’s work in the world.

Jail Ministry Team
The Jail Ministry Team is composed of men and women gathered by God weekly for the purpose of sharing the word of God to incarcerated men and women.
