We Love Our Volunteers
The many volunteers who show their love with their service have added so very much to our ministry, it is immeasurable.
We need your help! We're developing teams of volunteers for the following areas:
Parking
If you are looking for an opportunity to exercise while you worship, join the Parking Team! Welcome all cars into, and out of The Gathering safely and easily. Time requirement: arrive 1 hour before the service and stay after to help all cars exit. If you're strongly opposed to fender-benders, we would love to have your help! Come armed with a smile, and running shoes are a MUST! - Scott Marshall

Prayer Team
The only requirement is that you have a heart for prayerful worship. We ask that you be willing to pray throughout the week for any and all of the following:
- Individual prayer requests submitted by attendees of The Gathering
- God’s guidance and leadership of the body of the church
- The leadership team, both as a group and as individuals
- Dave and Paula Foster
In addition, if you feel comfortable doing so, we also need individuals willing to pray with people who are hurting and need prayer and Christian fellowship at The Gathering. This is not mandatory to be on the prayer team, but we ask that you consider being willing to step outside your comfort zone and help other seekers in need
We also need volunteers willing to participate in prayer request follow-up by calling, sending cards, sending emails or even making hospital visits. - Randy & Lee Ann Dichtel

Volunteer Signups & Development
The goals of the Volunteer sign up and development team are to provide worshipful service to God by:
- Recruiting and organizing volunteers
- Assist team leaders with the staffing needs of their volunteer teams
- Attempt to anticipate new teams as the need for them arises and repeat (1) and (2) for the new teams.
If you love organizing and helping others to discover which area of service is a FIT (Faith In Translation) for them, then please join our group! - Lee Ann Dichtel

Welcome Center, Database, and Phone Team
Maintain the comprehensive database of all attendees of The Gathering. Work with the team leader to develop targeted databases for new ministries within The Gathering as they are created. Assist in making telephone contact with attendees that do not have email addresses in order to keep them up to date on news, events, and dates/times of services for The Gathering. - Debbie Cohen

Worship Music Team
Could you email us with your particular gifts and interests? (you know, what instruments do you play, etc. . .) We won't be holding "auditions", but rather do our best to plug folks in where they are most comfortable. Our main goal is to keep it Real and Uncomplicated, keeping in mind that you all are volunteers, and we don't want to abuse or take undue advantage of you. So, please email and please pray. And, by all means, come up to us at church and introduce yourselves. - Barbie & Ken Isham

Audio Team
Audio team members help with the setup, operation, and take-down of the portable sound system for each service. Some heavy lifting is required with setup and take-down, and some experience with audio mixing is required for operation of the system. If a volunteer is helping with all phases, setup through take-down, the time commitment will be about 5-6 hr. for a single service. Please submit a request below, or say "hello" to us Sunday - Dave Seldon
Sign-up for the Audio Team
Technology Team
We need geeks. We love geeks! Here are some areas we need help with:
- Offering live audio webcast of the services
- Working towards an audio/video solution for potential satellite locations
- Better communication and infrastructure for staff and volunteers (a
Gathering Server somewhere for e-mail, file storage, etc., with good WAN access)
- A main phone number and virtual lines... through Vonage or similar VOIP service.
- More interactive features for the website (forum, chat, downloads, etc)
- And more...... - Dave Seldon
