There's always something great happening at FBC Forest Park for you and your family. Stay up to date with our announcements and explore our full calendar of upcoming services and events below!

The church is not a building. It's the people in the building and we can't do ministry without faithful volunteers! We have several immediate needs and many more needs will arise as we get closer to our relaunch on August 1st. You can show your interest in being involved by filling out the short form below. We will reach out to you to make sure you are plugged in to the place where your skillset can shine!

You will notice we are asking for more volunteers than each area requires. That is because we value rest as a church. We are trying to build teams in each area of need so no one is left alone with the responsibility. We do not believe "life-time assignments" are healthy so we work hard to make sure you are not "stuck" in your volunteer role. Please know that when you sign up to help, we value you and your time. We understand you have many obligations vying for your time. Our desire is that your time spent volunteering at FBC Forest Park would be a joy and not an obligation.

Sunday Morning Opportunities

• First Impressions Team Leaders - We need two leaders to help coordinate our first impressions team. You will be responsible for scheduling volunteers, training and equipping volunteers with basic information, and ensuring our volunteers are joyfully communicating accurate information at our welcome centers.

• First Impressions Team - We need 8-10 volunteers to serve as our greeting team, door holders, and information center staff. Our First Impressions Team will be responsible for making guests and others feel welcome, communicating announcements and other details, helping volunteers sign up for volunteer opportunities, connecting people with the correct Sunday school class, and assisting with online giving through the church website. You will be equipped to be the "hub of the wheel" for our church communication strategy. Volunteers will serve as a smiling face in the parking lot, a door holder for our guests, and staff our information booths. Volunteers should be positive, outgoing, and kind.

• Children's Church Volunteers - We need 12 -16 volunteers to help support our children's church leaders. Children's church meets during the 11:00 service in the Kid's Room on the second floor. We need a rotating group of volunteers who will actively engage our children through a fun and exciting curriculum under the guidance of our leadership team. This position requires no preparation or preplanning. Our leaders will guide you to success as long as you show up with a positive attitude ready to fully participate with our children.

• Children's Sunday School Teachers - We need 2-6 volunteers to join our Children's Sunday School Team. Teachers are equipped with a turn-key curriculum that easily guides our children through their lesson each Sunday morning. You will be provided all the materials, handouts, and media to lead our Children's Sunday School hour. Volunteers will serve as part of a rotating team serving under our children's ministry leadership.

• Youth Sunday School Teachers - We need 2-6 volunteers to join our Youth Sunday School Team. Teachers are equipped with a turn-key curriculum that easily guides our students through their lesson each Sunday morning. You will be provided all the materials, handouts, and media to lead our Youth Sunday School hour. Volunteers will serve as part of a rotating team serving under our youth ministry leadership.

• Nursery Workers - We need 6-8 volunteers to join our nursery team. Volunteers will serve as part of a rotating team serving under our nursery ministry leadership. This is more than "just babysitting." Our nursery team uses media, activities, and other curriculum to intentionally invest in the youngest members of our church family.

Wednesday Night Opportunities

• Crew Guides - We need 8-10 volunteers to serve as "Crew Guides" for our Wednesday night Children's ministry. Crew Guides require little to no preparation. You are simply asked to fully participate with our children (either Pre-K or elementary school) as you guide them from station to station throughout our Wednesday night program.

• Kid's Worship Team - We need 2-6 volunteers to lead the opening session and closing session for our children's ministry on Wednesday nights. Each session is 100% scripted so you don't have to worry about what to do. The worship music is provided by prerecorded music videos so you don't have to be able to sing to lead our worship time. Your job will be to bring the hype and set the tone for a fun and engaging evening with our children.

• Kid's Bible Study Leaders - We need 2-4 volunteers to lead the Bible study for our children's ministry on Wednesday nights. Each session is 100% scripted so you don't have to worry about what to do. The Bible Study is supplemented with videos, posters, stickers, and small group discussion. If you can follow a script and be engaging in front of children then you are perfectly qualified to be a Bible Study Leader!

• Kid's Arts and Crafts Leaders - We need 4-8 volunteers to lead the hands on portions of our children's ministry on Wednesday nights. This team is responsible for implementing the opening activity at the tables in the Fellowship Hall while we eat and facilitating the "apply it" activity in the kids room and/or nursery after the Bible study time. Each activity is 100% scripted so you don't have to worry about what to do. You are simply responsible for obtaining the required materials and explaining how each activity works. There are different activities for Pre-K and elementary school.

• Recreation Team - We are looking for 2-6 volunteers to coordinate our recreation time on Wednesday Nights. This team is responsible for two 15-20 minute game times in the gym. One game time will be for our Pre-K children and one game time will be for our elementary school children. This portion of our Wednesday night is not part of the curriculum so this team will have to create their own recreation program.

• Meal Team - We are looking for several volunteers to serve on a rotating team to help prepare very simple Wednesday night meals for our Children's and Youth Ministries. We will begin each Wednesday night in the Fellowship Hall with food and a simple table top activity for the kids. Examples of the simple meals are: Hot dogs and chips, chicken nuggets and fries, ham and cheese crackers, nachos and a fruit cup. Our desire is to keep this simple so it doesn't become over whelming and distracting from the ministry and relationships.

• Adult Small Group Discussion Leaders - We are looking for 5-10 volunteers to serve as Adult Small Group Leaders on Wednesday nights in the Fellowship Hall. These leaders will be responsible for leading their table through some discussion questions based off the sermon from Sunday and leading their table in a time of prayer. These leaders will be provided the discussion questions and the weekly prayer sheet ahead of time so they can prepare as needed.
