Volunteering & Opportunities for You to Serve

At Baptist Tabernacle, there are many activities and positions that keep our church running smoothly. We are always on the lookout for folks who have an interest in serving. Do you have a talent or skill to share? There’s a place for you!

Here are some ministries to consider getting involved with. We have described what is involved in these services. But these illustrate only a few of the ways our members and friends contribute to the life of the church. PLEASE CONTINUE TO THE END to also see some potential opportunities we have not fully developed that you might want to help us start.

Boards

The Boards described below are member of the church who are elected annually.

The Official Board

The authority for the general governing and the conducting of church business, the management and control of its property, and the general supervision of its work.

The Official Board is actually comprised of the members of three subordinate boards – the Board of Deacons, the Board of Trustees, and the Board of Christian Education. These persons are elected at a church business meeting each year and they must be members of the church.

Board of Deacons

Board of Trustees

Board of Christian Education

The Board of Christian Education supports the teaching ministries of the church through the planning, execution, and evaluation of programs that advance the study of the scriptures and their application to everyday life.

Again, people are nominated to serve on the boards and are elected by the congregation at a business meeting in December. If you think you would like to serve on one of them, speak to one of the current board chairpersons (Sandy Bonavina, Don Ostrander, or Linda Shandorf) to make your interest known.
