roadmap to serve

Worship with us
We believe serving comes from a place of obedience and overflow. Simply put, we want you to worship with us long before you serve with us! Our goal is to be faithful to Scripture’s call to gather together to worship God and be encouraged—this is where we respond!

Get to know us
We would love to introduce you to the values and family of Southcrest through our New Members class. While there is no pressure to become a member, we want to share who we are so that you can consider what it means to join us on mission! *Some positions do require membership*

Find your place
At Southcrest, we believe every person is a valuable part of accomplishing God’s purposes, and our hope is to help guide you in finding your place within the work He is already doing! From warmly welcoming first-time guests to leading people in worship, helping kids and students pursue a relationship with Jesus, or volunteering behind the scenes—there’s truly a spot for everyone.

FIND YOUR PLACE

We want to equip you to faithfully and generously serve in the most authentic ways you can.
KIDS
Our Kids volunteers introduce children to God's love and encourage them to build a daily relationship with Jesus in a safe, fun way! This happens through our Crest Clubhouse Preschool ministry (6 weeks through Pre-K), Crest Kids (K-4th grade), and Preteens (5–6th-grade) by helping with check-in, large-group teaching, small-group lessons, scripture memorization, and other activities within each age group/environment.
*You must complete Ministry Safe training to work with these groups
STUDENTS
Our Student volunteers walk alongside 7th through 12th graders and our college-aged students as they grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and learn to follow Jesus in their everyday lives. Whether you’d like to serve relationally (focused on connecting with students), by teaching (leading small groups), or behind the scenes (helping pull off events), there’s a spot for you!
