Audio/Visual Team
Help create engaging worship experiences! Each week, a dedicated team of volunteers serves in key roles: running lyric and sermon slides, operating cameras, and mixing sound. While some audio/visual experience is a plus, it's not essential – we'll provide training and support. If you have an eye for detail, an ear for quality, or a desire to serve behind the scenes,

Communion Servers
Communion Servers work in pairs to offer the elements of communion to everyone who wants to partake.  In this way, they are the hands and feet living out the Highlands' value that all are welcome.  No advance sign up necessary - just write your name on the chalkboard if you want to serve. Time Commitment: 10 minutes during the service on Sunday
Prayer Team
Members of the prayer team pray for community members during communion on Sunday mornings and/or are on an email list to receive prayer requests during the week. 
Hospitality
The hospitality team supports Karen by providing breakfast every Sunday at 10:00 am.  One person is needed each week to set up, and two people are needed for clean up.  Time commitments: Kitchen Set-up - arrive at 8:30 am, Clean up Crew - report to the kitchen after the service at 11:30 am 

Youth Volunteers
Youth volunteers are the core of the Highlands Youth Group!  These leaders are asked to come up with their theological questions in a way that brings Christ-centered relationships to our students through conversation, retreats, and crazy events! 
Time Commitment: Volunteers are asked to attend 1 sunday per month of youth group. Additionally, we ask that all youth volunteers attend a monthly volunteer meeting, as many youth events as possible (there's generally 1 per month), any retreats we may have, and complete 1 outing with a teen per month (called contact work).

Kids Church Volunteers
Three key positions help the Kids Ministry thrive: Classroom leader, assistant, and nursery.  A detailed plan and supplies needed for the lesson are all provided for you ahead of time.  Classes are broken down as follows: Nursery, Pre-K (3 - 5 yrs old), K-1, 2-3, 4-5.  Time Commitments: 10:00 - 11:15ish Sunday mornings.  Volunteers are asked to commit to once a month.  

Safety Team
Members of the Safety team keep watch during Sunday services and other events.  They attend quarterly meetings and stay up to date on protocols related to safety and security. Time Commitment: 9:45 - 11:30 on Sunday mornings and quarterly meetings.

Ways to Serve Outside of Sunday

Party People
This team helps all the parties and celebrations happen!  We like to party (Gala, Easter, Homecoming, Summer BBQs, etc…) and love our volunteers who show up to make this happen!  Positions include Bartending, Decorating, Setting up decorations and Taking Down/Cleaning up when we are done. Time Commitments: Varies based on the event and can be quite flexible! 

Vibe Crew
These volunteers have an eye for design and want to help dream about designing and decorating the Sanctuary for different seasons.  Help is appreciated to decorate the space and clean up as well. Time commitments: Varies based on events 

Babysitters
These special volunteers provide child care and babysitting for our evening and weekend events outside of Sunday morning. They are sometimes paid and always necessary! They must love kids and babies, be background checked, and be on call since our events and special classes happen at varying times and dates throughout the year. For example, GALA, Weeknights at the Brick House Classes, and Parents Night events. Time commitments: Varies based on events
