SERVING OTHERS IN JESUS' NAME
When we become a Christian, God gives us salvation and the hope of eternity in heaven. He also gives us purpose and significance in our lives. He has given each of us the opportunity to serve others and make a real difference in our community. When you serve others in Jesus' name, you’re ministering. God didn't design ministry for just a few people. At Ridgeview, we believe that every member of our church is a minister.
Pastor Tommy teaches that we all are shaped by God with individual gifts and talents that are to be used to support the Body of Christ. The Ministry Team has designed several tools to help guide you in discovering how your spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences (SHAPE) in life can be used by God to mold you for service.
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).
Here is what is happening in our SERVE area...
Who are the volunteers?
Ridgeview volunteers are members of the church who work together to serve others in the community and advance the kingdom for Jesus.
How do I get Plugged in?
If you are a regular part of Ridgeview and are interested in getting plugged in, simply email serve@ridgeviewchurch.net and someone will contact you about your next step.
If you are interested in joining Ridgeview or just want to learn more about the church, we would love for you to join us at our next "Experience" class.
What opportunities are available?
Every Christian is called and gifted to serve God’s purposes in the world. We are committed to help you discover, develop and deploy that gift as you partner with others in our church to make a difference in the world. We invite you to explore our ministries and find the place where you will be both fruitful and fulfilled in serving Jesus.
There are six areas of ministry that are made up of multiple volunteer teams. These teams serve others on Sundays and during the week.
GUEST SERVICES
First impressions make a huge impact. Therefore these teams are made up of individuals who love creating welcoming environments for every guest at Ridgeview.
SET UP/ TEAR DOWN
Everything we own at Ridgeview has wheels on it. We are only able to worship together each week because there are people willing to work behind the scenes to get things prepared before the guests arrive. Perhaps you would enjoy some interaction (on your own team), but prefer to not interact with guests. This area would suit you very well.
AUDIO/VISUAL
From operating cameras and sound to trouble-shooting computer issues, the Audio/Visual teams use their skills in media production and technology to keep Ridgeview on the cutting edge.
CREATIVE TEAM PLANNING
Twice a month Pastor Tommy meets with this team to come up with creative new ideas to help in relating to modern culture what is the timeless message of the Bible.
RIDGEKIDZ CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
The Ridgekidz Children's Ministry exists to unveil God's love to the children and families of Ridgeview.
RidgeStudents MINISTRY
The Ridgeview Student Ministries leaders serve the middle and high school students of Ridgeview and the North Greenville community.
