Serve
At Mt. Carmel, we believe every member is gifted by God for the good of the body (1 Corinthians 12:7). This page will guide you step-by-step through discovering how to serve in our church family.
The Path to Serving
Identify Your Gifts
Take our online Spiritual Gifts Test. Pray, reflect, and consider how God has equipped you to serve others.
Explore Ministry Opportunities
Our Ministry Catalog gives a simple overview of where you can serve. From Worship and NextGen to Outreach, Member Care, and Operations—there’s a place for everyone.
Let Us Know Where You’re Willing to Serve
Fill out the Ministry Interest Form. You can check more than one ministry if you’re open to serving in multiple areas. You can also use the tear-off panel in your bulletin and drop it in the offering plate.
Expect a Follow-Up
A member of the Nominating Committee will reach out to confirm your interest, recommend you for a role, and answer any questions you have.
Get Voted In
Ministry recommendations are finalized in a regular business meeting, in accordance with our bylaws.
Show Up and Serve
It’s not about getting on a list. It’s about faithfully showing up.
