God calls us to serve Him by serving one another. We are each uniquely created and shaped by God for that purpose. Part of belonging to a church family is learning to joyfully serve by helping each other grow in faith, supporting each other in our daily lives, meeting each others needs, and guiding people to lives of Gospel transformation.
Serving is also one of the best ways to get plugged into the community at Northview. Our serve teams get to know one another well and form long-term friendships.
To join a Serve Team at Northview, you must be a Christian who is growing in their faith, and a regular attender of Northview for at least 6 months.
Nursery, Preschool, Grade School: Our children’s programs run during the Saturday night and Sunday morning services. We are in need of people to serve in various roles during each of these services for all ages (6 months – Grade 5).
Imagine Service Opportunities: Imagine volunteers are needed to work in a team setting providing supportive care in the Imagine Center at the Saturday and Sunday services. Volunteers are also needed to provide inclusive support for participants in the typical classroom.
Middle or High School Youth Leader: Youth leaders are the backbone of youth ministry. They are the direct hands and feet of Jesus when it comes to the church ministry to youth. Leaders who love Jesus and share that love with students, create lasting meaningful relationships.
Production: Our teams work behind-the-scenes and have involvement in almost all areas of Northview. From weekend services, to events, there are many opportunities to serve in this area. ex. Sound, lighting, video, photography, mixing, set design, etc.
Kitchen: Saturday evenings work with a team serving once every 5 weeks helping to prepare, serve and clean up the Saturday evening meal. Also funerals and special events etc. We have a need for people who want to come in during the week and spend a couple of hours helping with miscellaneous kitchen needs. Prepare coffee and tea at weekend services for the Church Community and connect with those who like to drink it!
Hospitality Team: Welcome people at the door, direct them to where they need to go, seat them, serve at the connect desk and provide information as required.

Weekend Prayer: Do you have a passion for praying for others? You can spend one service per weekend praying with and for people!
