Lakeside Church

VOLUNTEER

Sayyes

Serving at Lakeside means you’re not just filling a position or meeting a need, but you’re saying YES to what God has in store for you. No matter where you serve, you’re part of a Lakeside team that is helping to create meaningful worship experiences and opportunities for people to discover and fully follow Jesus.

Everyone can say YES to something! 

No matter what you like to do or how you’re gifted, there’s something for you to do. Being part of a church family means that no one gets left out – everyone has something to do. So if you’re not sure where to begin, we’ve got a few suggestions:

  1. Pick something. Scroll through the list, find something that interests you and go for it. We don’t expect a lifetime commitment to any one thing, and we’re happy to give you opportunities to try new experiences. So pick something and give it a shot. When you find something you like, click the I’m Saying Yes button.
  2. Connect with a member of our staff team. We’d be happy to chat with you. Simply click the button below to get started.
  3. Have your own idea? Just because you don’t see it listed here doesn’t mean we can’t use your help. Let us know what you’re passionate about and where you see a need.
