Join A Team

At Bethany, we value connecting authentically with one another. We want to make others feel welcomed and known, creating a comfortable space for conversation and connection.

Team members use their gifts of hospitality to share God’s amazing love with everyone who enters our building and inspire them to follow Jesus.

• Greeters and Ushers: Warmly greet and guide guests at the doors, in the hallways, and in our worship spaces, helping them to feel welcomed and valued.
• Connection Center: Welcome first-time guests, help answer questions, guide families, and provide drinks and snacks in a neat, well-presented area.
• Communion and Offering Servers: Assist within the worship setting as needed to serve Communion or facilitate offering.

The goal for music and worship arts at Bethany is to create an environment that allows everyone to receive and praise God in their own individual way. “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.” Leo Buscaglia

• Media Team
  • The Media Team offers multiple ways to serve. Sound, Light, Camera, and Visual Technicians serve behind the scenes to create an environment where people can worship freely without distraction. Apart from running sound, there are no qualifications to fill a media booth position.
• Worship Band
  • The Worship Band includes, but is not limited to, piano, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, lead guitar, drums and keys. All contemporary worship music is played using chord charts. All levels of musicians are welcome to audition.
• Worship Singers
  • Singers are encouraged to seek out worship team opportunities by first joining one of our seasonal choirs (Christmas & Easter).
• Celebration Choir
  • The Celebration Choir is for ALL singers and if the spirit says move, even non-singers. We celebrate in fellowship for about six weeks before Christmas and Easter. The music is always fun and easy, and the fellowship is worth coming back the next week. If you’re curious, the Celebration Choir is an AWESOME way to get your foot in the door and meet new people!
• Piano Accompanist
  • Play piano? Contact us for an audition. We will add you to a players list, in which you could be called on to play for traditional services, weddings, funerals and/or special events.

Do you have a heart for those who are lonely, hurt, sick or broken hearted?

Bethany’s small groups meet regularly to help members get connected to God and one another. It’s a place of encouragement through life’s ups and downs. Each group has a leader and eventually one or more co-leaders. Co-leaders serve as substitutes, help share responsibility and train for leadership opportunities of their own. As a group leader, you don’t need to know everything, but you need to be willing to model moving forward in faith and helping your group members to do the same.

Bethany has established a security team for the safety of our congregation. This team consists of uniformed officers present at services. There are also volunteer members from the congregation that serve on this team.
