Be a Difference Maker by stepping up to serve at The Bayou, in our community, or around the world.
Serving at The Bayou isn't just about filling a spot—it's about being personally involved in our mission to help people know God, find community, and make a difference. Whether your role is very visible or behind the scenes, you'll be more connected and have a deeper sense of belonging as we serve Acadiana together.

There are plenty of ways you can make a difference.

Positions available:
God calls us to be His hands and feet, sharing His love with our neighbors and the nations. Whether you're serving our local community, supporting ministry partners, or helping create opportunities for others to experience the hope of Jesus, there's a place for you to make a difference through Outreach.
Groups to serve with:
We ask everyone who serves to go through our First Steps classes so they can better understand who we are as a church and what we believe. We also take the trust our church family places in us seriously, which is why every Serve Team volunteer is screened with a national background check and, for NextGen volunteers, also trained in child protection guidelines.
Your background check will remain confidential with the smallest number of people possible. It's also important to know that the background check is a part of the process, not the entire process. We will discuss any potential issues with you to understand any appropriate context before deciding on the best place for you to serve.
Tell us a little about yourself and the ways you'd like to serve, and we'll help you find your place.
