Serve Our Church
Want to know how you can serve at Forestgate? Below is a list of ministries where you can volunteer.
Our Ministry Teams are always looking for volunteers! We have a variety of areas in which you can serve, whether it’s through nursery, coffee service, community group leader, or something else.
Nursery

We believe that our church is one big family. Because of that, we view the care of our little ones as a vital part of serving one another. Are you willing to help care for children ages 6 weeks to 3 years to allow their parents attend worship? We’d love your help!
Kids
______________________
Children’s Church volunteers lead our little ones, ages 3-6 years old, through a series of fun activities during the prayer and sermon part of worship service. Activities include singing songs, reading a Bible story, and coloring time.
Youth

Would you like to serve Forestgate’s high school and middle school students? We are looking for volunteers to lead student small groups, join us on retreats and at events, and help our students serve.
Women’s

The Women’s Ministry Team oversees all the activities designed to engage, encourage and equip women. We not only make sure these ministries have all they need to be successful, but also we work toward initiating new outlets for growth of these ministries.
Men’s

The Men’s Ministry Team oversees all of the activities designed to engage, encourage and equip men at Forestgate. We want to make sure the men have opportunities to study the Word, grow in their faith, and encourage one another in life.
Community

One of the best ways to connect with others at Forestgate is through community groups. Have you ever considered hosting or leading a group? There is a big need for both hosts to open up their homes and for leaders to guide groups through prayer and sermon discussion.
