The mission of ActNow for Lubbock is to unify believers to serve the Lubbock area and share the Gospel.
ActNow partners churches around the Lubbock area with local ministries to provide support through volunteer service and resources as they have need. Liaisons within the church work directly with the ministry to communicate and arrange these encounters to keep things smooth and effective for both volunteers and the ministries. This website exists to help church members find places to serve according to their interests, availability and connections.

Stories of Service

Bonnie HIll, Chairman of Bereavement Food Committee

"They were so good to me when my husband died. It meant so much to me. And because I can empathize with people in this pain, loving others well during this season of grief brings me deep joy. I know I am loving someone and helping them in an incredibly special way." Before the pandemic, the food committee would host bereaved families by providing a meal for them and their out of town guests after a funeral. Committee members took turns coming up to the building to prepare the room and help the kitchen staff."

“Made to feel Welcome”

Jeremiah Sitoy, Greeter

"The first time we attended Southcrest, my family was welcomed and made to feel at home by the friendly greeters, so we kept attending and signed up for membership!" Jeremiah now volunteers as a door greeter because he remembers the impact that initial contact had on him and his family. "Romans 12:7-8 really impacted my life when I came here to the U.S. At first, I was hesitant to become a greeter. I'm an introvert, and I don't like to be in crowds. But that first Sunday we attended Southcrest, I was made to feel so welcomed by the door greeter's great smile and a good handshake. So, I decided to volunteer and be a door greeter to do the same thing for others."

“Called to Special Needs Ministry"

Amanda Carter, Special Needs Teacher

“I love to work with children, especially those with special needs. I felt called to work with this group. They are near and dear to my heart. Special needs ministry is not for everyone; anyone whoworks in this ministry is called to be there.”Amandavolunteers in the school-agedarea on Sunday morningsworkingwith children with special needs and periodically helpswith respite care for the special needs’ ministry on Friday nights. She and herhusbandhave also served as AWANA commanders and have attended summer church camp with the younger school agedkids.

“To Worship & Serve”

Lori Sandefur, Worship & Media Volunteer

“My joy comes from knowing that folks who want to praise God through song can sing out because they can see the lyrics. It brings me joy knowing that the people online can feel as if they are worshiping right alongside those of us at the building. “The Worship & Media team, choir, and orchestra are my Life Group. We’re a mix of church staff and volunteers, young and experienced from various walks of life. We pray, serve, and laugh together, and support each other through the highs and lows of life.”

“Volunteer to lead well”

Brendan and Connie Cimino, 4 yr old Teachers, Cubbie Directors

“Pam Copeland shared that getting children involved and interested (in church life) early leads them to stay interested and involved later in life. We believe that allowing our children to see their parents involved in a church community while growing up will lead them to stay engaged in the church. “We really love children. They are definitely our favorite part of volunteering because they are so excited to learn about God and Jesus. Their personalities are so fun to be around. We can be just as goofy as they are and keep them engaged. They keep us on our toes!

“ The people at this church really do get it...”

What’s New?

“Jesus Followers” a new book from Christain Green

The spirit of sisterhood is seen and felt in the fervent prayer of thousands of girls who faithfully uphold nations where injustice and darkness rage out of control. It is seen and felt in young women being inspired by the wisdom and grace of their mothers and the women ahead of them in this journey of life.
