We know that finding the right place to serve can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s why we’ve created Serve Teams: fun, welcoming spaces where you can grow, connect, and make a difference, one step at a time.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing.
There’s a team for every personality, every passion, and every schedule.
Serve Teams are groups of volunteers who work together to create a welcoming, Spirit-filled environment at Emmanuel. Whether you're greeting guests, investing in the next generation, running tech, or helping behind the scenes—every role matters.
