Serving Opportunities
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
The Pointe Dream Team is a group of amazing people who love the Lord and want to serve Him by serving others. Once they discovered their spiritual gifts, personality, and passions they serve on the Dream Team.
We have teams that serve by creating a comfortable and inviting environment like the Hospitality and Greeting Teams to leading the next generation to Jesus Christ by serving in the KidzPointe children’s Ministry and in the In-Motion Student Ministry to tearing down the barriers and edifying the church in our city by leading a Life Group. We are honored and blessed as a church to have such dynamic teams representing the body of Christ and advancing the Kingdom of God.
This team is about one thing: Serve God by serving His people. God wants every believer to be fulfilled. The way to being fulfilled is to grow up in your salvation, serve one another in love, and to be in relationship with people that have the same mindset of Christ. “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,” 1 Peter 2:2 NIV “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13 NIV In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5 NIV
