You can make a difference!
Each week at Next Level, people just like you impact others in a positive way through serving. Whether it’s helping kids learn about Jesus on their level, helping out with students on Wednesday nights, greeting first-time guests, or pitching in behind the scenes with Production, every volunteer is making a difference!
Your time is valuable, and we are honored that you are considering sharing some of it with us. We are also excited to see what God will do in your life when you decide to join one of our serve teams. We know that serving alongside others is one of the best ways to meet new people and also experience God in a whole new way.
There are multiple ways to serve here at Next Level. Take a look at the options below and see which one(s) might be of interest to you.
SERVE TEAMS
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and this team makes it their mission to create a welcoming environment for all of our guests. Whether it’s in the parking lot, the cafe, the auditorium, or anywhere in between, this team is making sure that no one walks in and out of Next Level on a Sunday without being noticed.
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Our children's volunteer team makes it their mission to create a fun, safe environment where kids can learn about Jesus on their level. From praying over our infants, to teaching Bible stories to toddlers, to rocking out in elementary worship, this team does whatever it takes to engage our kids and show them how much God loves them!
PRODUCTION
Our production team is behind the scenes making our Sunday morning worship environment the best experience it can possibly be. Whether it’s singing or playing an instrument on stage, operating a camera, or running sound or lights, this team works to create a distraction-free environment where people can worship and experience God on Sunday mornings.
SECURITY
Our Security team is dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure environment during Sunday morning worship and other NLC events. Members of the security team actively monitor the buildings and grounds for unusual or dangerous situations and respond to medical or safety issues as needed.
STUDENT MINISTRY
Are you passionate about the next generation? If so, serving in our Student Ministry might be for you. Opportunities range from managing the snacks in the kitchen on Wednesday nights to engaging with students during small group time. Our Student Ministry is a fun and highly rewarding place to serve and make a difference!
PRAYER TEAM
Our prayer team makes up an important part of our church’s mission. We pray for others during Sunday morning service and also pray over our weekly email prayer lists during the course of the week. Not only is this what Jesus calls us to do, but the return blessings are plentiful! If you are passionate about prayer, our prayer team is the perfect place for you.
SINGLE MOM'S AUTO REPAIR
Our Auto Repair Team assists single moms who can not afford to pay for service/labor or who do not have relatives who can perform the needed service. If you are someone who loves to work on cars, this might just be the place for you.
