Volunteers at St. Philip's

"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God." 2 Corinthians 9:12

There are many opportunities for everyone to minister within the St. Philip's community. Below is a list of programs and activities provided to all of God's children regardless of age.

Several of the ministries listed below are links. If you find one that interests you, click on it to see a detailed description. Each description includes: responsibilities, qualifications, amount of time required, when ministry is performed, length of commitment, who will provide you with any necessary training, who the ministry is responsible to, and when the position description was last reviewed. If you would like to discuss the ministry with the responsible person, please contact him/her directly, or contact the church office.

We also encourage you to spend some time reviewing the Gift Inventory. If you fill out this form, we can better involve you within the St. Philip's community and guide your spiritual growth as a Christian.

We appreciate all the efforts, time and commitment that you put into this Inventory. Our goal is to help you explore and discover the gifts that God has given to you, and return those gifts back to God for His glory.

If you cannot fill out the Gift Inventory and still wish to volunteer for any of the Activities or Projects, contact the church office at (763) 571-1500 or email us. Please include your phone number and area of interest. You may include more than one area in which you wish to participate.
