Where Can I Serve?
Note – All positions that work with children and students will require a background check and interview from our pastoral staff.
Nursery
We are looking for volunteers to watch the little ones during early and normal service times on Sunday. The early service is at 8:30am, and the normal service is at 11:00am. If you are interested in finding out more, contact the church office.
Children’s church takes place in the cafeteria midway through the 11:00AM Sunday service, and lasts through the duration of the service. Roles include helping set up, making snacks, serving snacks, teaching, helping with crafts, and the weekly tear-down. If you are available and would like to help out in anyway, please contact the church office to arrange a meeting with our senior pastor David Crowe to get you all set up.
Sunday School
Do you have a desire to teach students about the Bible? If so, contact the church office and ask to be re-directed to Pastor David Crowe or Pastor Thomas Devine to find out about positions available around the church. Sunday school meets at 9:45am every Sunday.
Youth Ministry
We have an immediate need for people to help out in the youth ministry. While positions may include helping out in the gym, running a concession stand, providing a group meal on Sunday night, or just being present for moral support, we ask that you contact Tom Devine, our family pastor, to find out exactly what we need.
Young Adult Ministry (20-29)
Our young adult ministry focuses heavily on discipleship, fellowship, and mission work. Our student group is one of the most active groups in the entire church. If you would desire to assist with the college & career ministry, please contact Karla Elgin at [email protected] for more information.
Support Groups
South Orlando Baptist Church sponsors a number of support groups such as Griefshare and Divorcecare. These groups could use volunteer facilitators to help them operate. If you would desire to assist with these groups, please contact church counselor Karla Elgin at [email protected] for more information.
Sanctuary Clean-up
We are looking for volunteers on Thursday or Friday each week to pick up papers and trash left in the pews and also to organize and add pew cards. Please call the church office if you are able to help.
Sunday Morning Choir
We always love it when someone chooses to lift their voice up to God, and here at South Orlando Baptist Church, we provide a popular opportunity to sing in the church’s choir. We meet at 7:00pm on Wednesday nights to practice, and we perform every Sunday during the 11:00am service. If you would like to join our choir, or at least find out more about it, contact the church office and ask for Pastor Rick Steele.
First Impressions Greeters
We need your help to make sure that every person who walks through the doors of SOBC feels welcomed and has quick and easy access to the information they need. Help us create an environment of hospitality and love by contacting Jan Eckles.
Wednesday Night Dinner Ministry
If you like cooking or serving others, the Wednesday night dinner ministry might just be for you! We provide meals at the church at 5:00pm every Wednesday, and we could always use another pair of hands around the kitchen and serving area. If you are interested in finding out more, contact the church office, ask for Phil Weaver’s phone number, then call him to find out how you can help out.
Security Team
As our church continues to grow we have put into place a Security Team Ministry to support the safety of the church and its members during service hours. We are looking for men and women who would be willing to patrol the parking lot, do walk-throughs in our three buidings, and provide assistance as needed during our worship services. If God is calling you to be a part of the team, we ask that you call the church office so we can get you connected and serving. You may sign up to join the rotation for as many services as you want by contacting the church office.
Please contact the church office if you feel lead to one of these areas.
To volunteer in certain areas of the church, we require that you to fill out this form and have an interview with the senior pastor.
