First Serve

What is a ‘First Serve’ opportunity? A First Serve opportunity allows an individual to connect to Calvary through ministry. Generally, these service opportunities require minimal training or previous experience, so it allows you to ‘jump in’ and serve the Lord. Listed below are spiritual gifts, corresponding First Serve opportunities, and the time commitment associated with each ministry. These opportunities just begin to scratch the surface of the ways that you can serve the Lord and the body of Christ. If you are interested in serving in an area not named below, please email the Director of Membership at allisonmonroe@mycalvary.com.  Calvary is excited for your heart and willingness to serve the Lord, His church, and our Calvary family.
