Volunteers Needed!

Immanuel Bible Church has a wide array of ministries that serve our congregation as well as our community. Most of these are staffed by volunteers who are committed to serving on a regular basis using the gifts and talents the Lord has given them. If you would like to serve the body of Christ here at Immanuel, we have a place for you! Below are listed ministries with a current need of volunteers. All offer training if necessary; more important is a desire to be used effectively. Our Registration Form will give you an opportunity to indicate your availability: Sundays, weekdays, or evenings, and a comment field if you would like to indicate any other areas in which you might consider volunteering.

Sunday Mornings

KStation (Children's Ministry) | AWANA Volunteers Needed

Choir & Orchestra

The choir is an ensemble of nearly 100 people who love to use their voices to praise the Lord and lead others in worship. Music reading ability is not a prerequisite, but being able to sing a voice part successfully and harmoniously with others is necessary. Ministry opportunities include participation in two or more Sunday morning worship services as well as seasonal concerts.

This full, forty piece orchestra provides music for all Sunday morning services. Worship is greatly enhanced with instrumental preludes, accompaniment to congregational and choral singing, and occasional offertory selections. Musicians should be of high school-level ability or above. Ministry opportunities include participation in two or more Sunday morning worship services as well as seasonal concerts.

Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings from 7–9 pm. Concert rehearsals require some Saturdays.

Parking Lot Attendants

Our parking lot attendants serve 40 minute shifts on a monthly basis.

For more information, please contact Ken Hess, Immanuel Director of Security, Parking & Shuttle Services, at 703.813.2057.

Midweek Volunteer Opportunities

Senior Care Ministry

As some in our congregation begin to age and experience the health challenges that often take place during that stage of life, they are not always able to be as faithfully connected to the church as they would like. Accompanying their physical suffering is the inability to regularly attend worship services, Bible studies and fellowship events that are part of the church life that they have known and loved for many years.

By participating as an able-bodied volunteer in a Senior Care Ministry, you will be able to connect with those Senior Adults and offer them encouragement, a listening ear, and serve as a source of connection for them with the church. A ministry of this nature offers opportunity to demonstrate the many “one another’s” that actively characterize the fellowship of a loving and caring church. Please consider participating in a ministry that will strengthen the local Body of Christ.
