Find a Place to Serve

You were created to make a difference.

We believe that God gave each of us gifts, skills, and abilities to use in service to others. And when we are using our gifts to bless others, we are the ones who experience joy! Serving is also a great way to make a big church feel like YOUR church. 

We have a variety of serving teams for Sunday mornings and various events throughout the year. Consider serving on one of these teams listed below:  Creative Arts, First Impressions, Preschool, Kids, Students, Special Events, The Bayou Crew, and Small Groups.

Or if you'd like to serve but not sure where you'd like to be, just fill out our general serve form. We're happy to connect with you to help you take the next step to start serving.
