Volunteer

You are available to serve in elected positions in the community.

Volunteers are often ‘elected’ by a faith community to serve in and around the worshipping. They are often involved in pastoral care and administrative committees.

You dedicate your life to serving obediently.

Volunteers dedicate their lives to following the teachings of God obediently. To accomplish this, they often appreciate the guidance of people who are more knowledgeable than they are. Volunteers strive to make the advice of their leaders their own. It is important for Volunteers to understand what they and the people they relate to believe. These beliefs they will then trust and follow.

You find joy in taking up positions in your faith community.

Volunteers find meaning in using their gifts in established structures. It could be helpful to them to ask to be placed somewhere where their gifts can be used to the benefit of the community and broader society. Volunteers take up these roles (often in institutional positions) to support the efforts of their church or group.

The aim of volunteer work is to bless people by serving.

It is a way to make a difference in people's lives. It is also a way to exercise your gifts. You are uniquely equipped by the Spirit to use and enjoy the gifts God has given you. Ultimately your gift is a gift to others.
