How do I get Started?

Grow & Serve Center
Stop by the Grow & Serve Center on Sunday morning. You’ll meet some friendly people who can help you get connected to current serving opportunities, register for classes, and answer any questions you may have. Meet new friends, serve others, and grow in your faith as a result!

Backstage Pass
Join us for a fun tour of our church facilities on a Sunday morning and see ministry in action. We’ll not only help you find your way around the building, but will help you gain insight as to how people are serving God and others across the church, and how you can become a part of it all! The Backstage Pass Tour begins at 10:45 on the date specified in the green “Backstage Pass” box, and lasts for about 45 minutes. Families are welcome to attend together; no sign ups required.

SHAPE Workshop
Discover where God has uniquely gifted you to serve. Did you know that you are God’s Masterpiece? That you were created to make a unique contribution to His kingdom? Join us for SHAPE, and explore your own special combination of spiritual gifts, heart (passions), abilities, personality and experiences. After completing the workshop, you’ll meet 1:1 with a SHAPE Guide who will help you find a place to serve that produces joy, satisfaction, and continued growth in Christ.

In the Church

  • Do you enjoy helping others connect into the life of the church? Join the Grow & Serve Center team to assist others in registering for classes and exploring serving opportunities. Serve once monthly; basic computer navigation skills are essential. Complete the Serving Interest Form at the right to have someone contact you directly.
  • Do you love meeting people and helping behind the scenes? Become a part of what’s happening here on Sunday mornings by serving as an usher. Opportunities are available before/during both services.
  • Do you enjoy cooking for others? Join the Meals on Wings team to provide meals to church family members in times of transition or need. The team is seeking additional “cooks” in the Franklin, Milford, Medway and Framingham/Natick areas; cooks are generally called upon just a few times a year.
  • Do you like to organize “stuff”? Be a blessing to our Preschool by organizing materials & supplies for the balance of the school year. Complete the Serving Interest Form at the right to have someone contact you directly.
  • Do you have experience in corporate training or leadership development? Transfer your professional skills into ministry by joining the Spiritual Growth team. Prepare and deliver experiences & materials designed to help Group Leaders guide people to a deeper relationship with Christ.
  • Don’t you just love babies? Share God’s love with His littlest ones by serving in the Nursery just once a month during service on Sundays.
  • Are you looking for an opportunity to pray for others? Serve as a prayer partner in a church ministry that reflects your passions.
  • Calling all gentlemen with the gift of encouragement. Consider joining our care team as a Call Partner, helping individuals and families stay connected to our church. Commitment is just 2 hours monthly; scheduling flexible & training provided.
  • Share God’s love in practical ways. Join the Minuteman Movers to assist families in need and make a real difference.
  • Do you love to encourage others through the written word? Share your influence by joining the Care & Concern team, writing notes/cards to church family members who are unable to attend, or for significant life events. Scheduling flexible.
  • Are you looking for ways to serve during the week while the kids are in school? Our own Hopkinton Christian preschool is a great place to serve. Opportunities exist to participate in support of classroom activities or behind the scenes.
  • Do you have the training and resources to create Flash Animation? Our Visual Arts team would LOVE to bring Flash technology to our Worship Ministry!

In the Community

Are you looking for a way to use your gifts & passions outside of the church? Partner with one of our Community Outreach organizations this year – as an individual, as a family, or as a community group. Visit the Outreach Opportunities page for more details.
