At FBC Charleston, we believe that when we serve out of love, God is glorified. We also believe that service both inside and out of the church is key to the discipleship process, and we are committed to serving together. Here are some of the areas where you can serve at FBC Charleston. We encourage you to get plugged-in to one of these teams. Are you ready to serve?

When someone experiences the loss of a loved one, one way we can love them is providing food. Sometimes it’s taking food to the family at their home, and other times is providing a family meal after a funeral. There are also times throughout the year when we get together as a church for holidays and special events. Our Kitchen Team prepares and serves the food during these times. This team is led by Angie Haynes and Carla Baxter.

 

The FBC Charleston Women’s Ministry is for women of all ages and in all stages of life. Their main focus is the discipleship of women and serving our church and community. We do this through Bible Studies, Prayer Group Ministry, Basket Ministry, Showers and Outreach Planning. The team is led by Miranda Curbow.

 

The Baskets of Love Ministry desires to share the love of Christ with others through preparing and delivering custom-made gift baskets. Baskets are made, by request, for members of our community and of our church, including those who are experiencing illness, a hospital stay, grief/loss; who simply need encouragement; who are celebrating a special occasion; or who have visited one of our services or attended an event. The Baskets of Love ministry team periodically prepares baskets for groups, such as our members who are unable to attend services, welcome baskets for new school staff, or children who attended VBS. Opportunities for service in this ministry include buying small gift items for baskets, preparing baskets, and delivering baskets. Baskets of Love is led by Emily Hudson.

 

The goal of the Greeting Team is to create a welcoming environment on Sunday mornings so that every person who walks through our doors, whether they are a member or a guest, feels welcomed at First Baptist Charleston. This team is led by Dale Rice.

 

The Media Team is a “behind the scenes” team, but one that is very important to ministry at FBC Charleston. Our Media Team is run by volunteers who take care of the video and sound during the worship service on Sunday mornings. Prior technical experience isn’t necessary (but definitely a bonus if you have it!), we’ll show you everything you need to know. This team is led by Jon Core.

 

The Worship Team is a group of volunteers who lead us in worship on Sunday mornings. They practice throughout the week. It’s led by Emily Hudson.

 

FBC Charleston partners with KiDs Beach Club® to provide 3rd and 4th grade students at Charleston Elementary with the opportunity to encounter Jesus and learn what it means to follow Him. KiDs Beach Club meets after school (3:10-4:30), once a week, throughout the school year, and we need volunteers to make it happen! KiDs Beach Club is led by Belinda Brown. All KiDs Beach Club volunteers must submit a background check. 

 

The Nursery Ministry serves our littlest members and guests (newborn – 3 yr olds). We want to provide a place of love, safety, fun and biblical learning. The Nursery is available during Sunday School and the Sunday Morning Worship Service and our volunteers serve on a rotating basis. The Nursery Team is led by Cindy Core. All nursery volunteers must submit a background check. 

 

The Children’s Church Team serves preschoolers through 5th graders on Sunday mornings during the worship service (every Sunday except the last Sunday of the month). Children go to the worship service with their parents/guardians throughout the song portion of the worship service, then leave for Children’s Church for the remainder of the service. During this time, they’ll spend time worshiping and learning God’s word in a way that’s easy for them to understand. Our ultimate goal is for them to grow in their knowledge of Christ and put their faith in Him. All Children’s Church volunteers must submit a background check. This team is led by Belinda Brown.

 

Our FBC Kids Team serves preschoolers through 6th graders on Wednesday Nights. As members of the FBC Kids team, we have the opportunity to build a relationship with each child and not just tell them about the love of Christ, we can SHOW them! We want the time they spend at church to be the best part of their week! Our goal is to come alongside parents in helping them grow their children in Christ so that they come to develop a personal relationship with Him. All FBC Kids volunteers must submit a background check. FBC Kids is led by Tara Heft and Becky Harris.

 

Our FBC Students Team serves 7th-12th graders on Sunday mornings during Sunday school, Wednesday nights for Wednesday Night Worship, and throughout the week for various student events. There are various ways you can serve our FBC Students. To find out how you can help, contact Artie Hudson. All FBC Students volunteers must submit a background check.
