Serve

Use Your Gifts. Make a Difference. Build God’s Kingdom.

At Hay River Pentecostal Chapel, we believe every person has been uniquely created by God with gifts, talents, and passions that can make a difference. Serving is more than filling a role — it is an opportunity to use what God has placed inside you to love people, strengthen the church, and impact our community.

Serving Is More Than Volunteering

There is a difference between volunteering and serving.

Volunteering is often about giving when it is convenient. Serving is a response to God’s invitation to participate in His mission. A servant recognizes that everything we have — our time, abilities, resources, and lives — belong to Him.

When we serve, we follow the example of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve others. We serve with humility, joy, and a desire to make Jesus known.

The church is not built by a few people doing everything — it is built when every person discovers their place and uses their gifts to serve others.

Find Your Place

Whether you love connecting with people, working behind the scenes, creating, organizing, encouraging, teaching, or helping others, there is a place for you.

Serving is one of the greatest ways to grow in your faith, develop your gifts, build relationships, and experience the joy of making an eternal impact.

Some of the ways you can serve include:

Welcoming and connecting with guests
Helping create meaningful worship experiences
Investing in children and youth
Supporting church events and gatherings
Serving behind the scenes with administration, technology, and practical needs
Caring for people through encouragement and prayer
Participating in community outreach and local ministry opportunities

Beyond Our Walls

We believe the church exists not only for those who walk through our doors but also for the community God has placed us in.

Throughout the year, we have opportunities to serve through outreach events, community initiatives, and moments where we can show the love of Jesus in practical ways.

When we serve together, we become the hands and feet of Jesus — bringing hope, encouragement, and compassion to the people around us.

Everyone Has a Part to Play

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have all the answers. You simply need a willing heart.

God uses ordinary people who are willing to say, “Here I am, send me.”

We invite you to discover your gifts, find your place, and join us as we serve one another, our community, and the mission of God.

Together, we can make a difference.
