SERVE

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...

Mark 10:45

We at the Vineyard have a core belief that "everyone gets to play." Serving is the best way to be connected with His church. Together, helping people draw together as a community, deepens their relationship with the Lord and each other. No part in the body of the church is less important than the other! Our goal is to be continually improving our service and welcoming others to join in. Everyone has a part to play in this, from handing out food to switching the slides for service, handling one of the cameras to helping in Kids Church. Each one is so important!

Find Your
Place

You weren't made to fill a slot. You were made to fill a role only you can fill.

Four questions to find where you belong
01 - What breaks your heart?
02 - What comes naturally?
03 - Where have you seen fruit?
04 - What has your life taught you?
Where Heaven Breaks Through - Serving Teams
Kids Ministry
The Impact

Every Sunday, a child hears they are loved by God - maybe for the first time. You're not watching kids. You're shaping someone's first picture of who Jesus is. That picture stays for life.

Serving · Mercy · Teaching
Youth Group
The Impact

Teenagers are deciding right now who they are and who they'll become. Your presence says: someone sees me, and God is real. That's not small. That's everything at that age.

Encouragement · Prophecy · Mercy
Events Team
The Impact

Every gathering is a moment where someone takes their first step closer. You build the room where that happens - and the details you handle with excellence make space for the Spirit to move.

Serving · Administration · Giving
Greeting Team
The Impact

For someone walking through our doors for the first time - nervous, unsure, maybe desperate - your face is the first face of the church. A genuine welcome has changed the trajectory of a life more than we'll ever know.

Encouragement · Mercy · Serving
Coffee Bar
The Impact

Some of the most important conversations in the Kingdom happen over a cup of coffee. You're not making drinks - you're creating the margin where people open up and community is actually built.

Serving · Hospitality · Encouragement
Information Booth
The Impact

The person who doesn't know where to go or how to connect - you're the bridge. You help people find their place. There's no more fitting role in a church that believes everyone belongs.

Teaching · Administration · Serving
Worship Team
The Impact

You create the moment where someone who walked in carrying everything walks out having set it down. Music is where heaven touches earth. What's in you wasn't put there to stay quiet.

Prophecy · Faith · Encouragement
Safety Team
The Impact

When people feel safe they open up, let their guard down, and encounter God. You're the reason families walk in without a second thought. Protection is one of the most selfless forms of love.

Faith · Leadership · Serving
Media & Production
The Impact

The person watching online from home - not yet ready to walk through the doors - needs everything to work so the message gets through. Your precision and steadiness make that possible, every week.

Serving · Administration · Creative
Prayer Ministry
The Impact

When you stand with someone in prayer at their hardest moment, you're standing in the gap between where they are and where God is calling them. Heaven moves in response to prayer.

Faith · Healing · Prophecy
Administration
The Impact

Every ministry that reaches someone runs on a foundation of people who handle details with excellence. When the systems work, the mission moves. Order is a spiritual gift - and the church needs yours.

Administration · Serving · Leadership
Jail Ministry
The Impact

Jesus said: I was in prison and you came to visit me. Your willingness to show up in that place says: you are not forgotten, and God is not done with you.

Mercy · Evangelism · Faith
Facilities
The Impact

Every clean room, every fixed door, every well-kept detail says: this place is cared for because the people in it matter. You make that statement every week without anyone noticing - and that's exactly the point.

Serving · Administration · Giving
Care Team
The Impact

Grief, illness, crisis - these are the moments when people need the church to actually show up. You are the hands and feet of Jesus in someone's hardest season. That kind of presence changes people forever.

Mercy · Serving · Encouragement
Food Pantry
The Impact

A box of food is more than calories - it's a message that says: you are seen, you are not alone. Families in Mechanic Falls, Minot, and Hebron receive that message through your hands every week.

Mercy · Giving · Serving
Backpack Program
The Impact

Over 40 kids go home on Friday not knowing if there's food for the weekend. You change that - quietly, without applause, week after week. Just like the servants at Cana.

Mercy · Giving · Faith

"Everyone gets to play. Ministry is not just for the professionals or the super-spiritual. The Holy Spirit wants to use every single believer."

- John Wimber
Discipleship & Financial Freedom

Help Others Find Their Place

Some people are wired not just to serve - but to help other people discover where they belong and grow. This is discipleship in its most practical and Kingdom-shaped form.

Connecting Others to Their Place
The Impact

Some people are called to help others find theirs. If you love sitting with someone, asking the right questions, and watching the moment they realise where they belong - this is your gift.

Encouragement · Pastor · Mercy · Teaching
Leading a Small Group
The Impact

Real life-change rarely happens in a Sunday service - it happens around a table, in someone's living room, with people who know your name. You're not just hosting a group. You're building the kind of community Jesus had in mind.

Pastor · Teaching · Encouragement · Mercy
Financial Peace University
The Impact

If you've walked through FPU and found freedom, your story is the most powerful tool in the room. Help someone else get there.

Teaching · Giving · Administration · Mercy
Alpha Course
The Impact

Alpha is often the first safe space someone has ever had to ask honest questions about faith - without pressure, without judgment. You might be the reason they take their next step toward Jesus.

Evangelism · Encouragement · Mercy · Teaching
Practicing the Way
The Impact

Information about Jesus is everywhere. Formation into the likeness of Jesus is rare. If you take the interior life seriously and want to walk alongside others in it, this is where that gift multiplies.
