Time, Talent, Treasure

Stewardship demonstrates one’s own understanding of what Christ has done for him/her.

Giving Christ our time, talents, and treasures is our living prayer of thanksgiving to Christ.

It is also our response to Him for what He has done and continues to do for us.

Serving Behind the Scenes

A special group of volunteers helps prepare the altar and sanctuary for Sunday morning services. This includes things like filling candles, caring for altar linens, and setting up/taking down for communion and baptisms.

Members work in teams and are usually on duty a few times per year. Each member is trained by and works with an experienced member for as long as necessary.

If you are interested in becoming part of this group, contact the Altar Guild Chair by calling the church office at 232-7575.

Clean Team Ministry

We are incredibly blessed to have four dedicated Clean Teams at ORELC! These folks maintain all the rooms and hallways that Our Redeemer uses from the Sanctuary to the classrooms to the bathrooms.

If you are interested in serving in this ministry, please know that you can give as much or little time as your schedule allows, but usually only one or two hours per month.

Please speak with any Trustee, trustees@orelc.org, to inquire about this volunteer opportunity.

Adopt-a-spot

Our Redeemer is in need of your help to continue care of our beautiful church property.

The sun is shining! The birds are chirping! The grass is growing! Do you know what that means?

The Board of Trustees needs your green thumb to take care of a flower bed / landscape plot on the church grounds. The property map is in the narthex for signups. Returning volunteers should re-sign up for their favorite plot please. Mulch near garage. Thank you!

Hello & Welcome!

Looking for an easy way to serve your church? Sign up to be a greeter!

We have five volunteers currently so you would only have to serve less than ten times a year!

Greeters are asked to arrive at 8:30 am, pass out bulletins, introduce visitors to Pastor Stinnett, and assist members who worship in the parking lot.

If you are interested in serving as a greeter please contact Jamie Droste, Missions@orelc.org or call the church office 232-7575.
