Recognizing that the church is described as the "body of Christ", we take seriously our obligation to learn to work together as a team with every believer. Each member knowing and using their gifts is critical for the proper and effective functioning of the body of Christ. In order to help you engage in ministry and use your gifts, we have provided this page to connect our members with ministry opportunities. Ministry Opportunities @ Grace Chapel Castle Rock Care Center. Our Castle Rock Care Center ministry provides a place for volunteers with a variety of gifts and abilities. Each Sunday morning a volunteer team holds a worship service at the Castle Rock Care Center located just east of our church building. The Care Center ministry is an expression of our love and concern for those who are no longer able to go to church. So, we take church to them. Each week we send a team of believers who minister to the needs of the Care Center residents. Together we sing, pray, and hear a message from God's word. If you have a heart for the elderly, come and join us. We have need for greeters, song leaders and musicians. Become God's hands and feet to his loved ones. We serve from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Sunday morning, once a month. Responsible children are welcome, but must be accompanied by a supervising adult. Sunday Morning Fellowship: If you are interested in helping prepare the fellowship table on a Sunday (cutting donuts, making coffee), please contact Debbie Fellenz. Building Maintenance. If you are able to help with facility maintenance and support, contact Michael Kennison. Children's Ministry: If you are interested in leading a class and teaching the Bible to children, please contact Chrystal Miller for more information. Ushers, greeters, helpers, etc. If you would like to assist on Sunday mornings serving as an usher or greeter, contact Eric Schield. Some of the opportunities for service we have each week include: Ushers: Our ushers assure that everyone present enjoys a distraction-free service. We do this by helping people find their seat and assist with the offering and communion. Our ushers are prepared 30 minutes before a service and assist for 5 minutes at the end of the service. You will find more information here. Greeters: Our greeters welcome new visitors and regular attenders as we gather for worship each week. Greeters are energetic, outgoing, and friendly, and as young as 12 years old. Our greeters gather 20 minutes before the service, and assist again 10 minutes at the end of the service.

Through these lessons kids stay connected and engaged during Bible lessons and therefore remember their "message" for months and years to come. They have fun learning and they actively participate. We focus on one specific Bible Point, and use a variety of activities to reinforce that message. The goal is to send children home with one life-applicable piece of Bible truth each week. Weeks and months later, they will still remember what they have learned and be able to use it in their daily lives. Hands-On Bible Curriculum is R.E.A.L. Relational, Experiential, Applicable, and Learner-based. Every activity is purposefully designed to involve the child and communicate the biblical point of that day's lesson. Children don't just memorize a lesson in their head; they embrace the biblical truth with their heart.
