Make A Difference
Get Involved
Unfortunately, the world is full of homeless Christians. Now, we don’t mean homeless in the sense they don’t have a place to live they can call home (although that sometimes can be the case sadly). We mean Christians who find themselves for various reasons unable to settle down or find a Church they can truly call their spiritual home.
A place where they can receive godly impartation and likewise impart to others. If you are one of those homeless Christians and wondering if you are ever going to live a fulfilled life in active service for the kingdom of God; then do not despair.
Here, at Kingsbury Baptist Church, enabling people to fulfil their potential in Christ is not only biblically desirable for us, but a godly imperative we seek to honour. We are always on the lookout to help our fellow Christians find fulfilment and joy in the services of God and His Kingdom.
Why Get Involved?
Your Christ-enabled abilities and giftings do not have to lie dormant and untapped. You can use them to glorify God and take your rightful place as His ambassador in this world. There are many ways you can be useful to the Kingdom of God, such as volunteering for church functions, performing outreach duties, mentoring your fellow Christians and instilling in them the mindset of a disciple equipped to adequately represent the LORD Jesus Christ in a world, where He calls us to shine as lights. Through such selfless acts and rendering of service to God, you also attain spiritual growth. True spiritual growth happens when you become an active participant in worship and the services of God’s kingdom, instead of a passive follower.
How Do I Start Getting Involved?
The first step is to listen to what God is saying to you specifically about Kingsbury Baptist Church. Ask Him how you could be most helpful and useful. Attend one of our worship services and make time afterwards to speak to our Pastor, Reverend Jo Phillips who, will help you identify immediate and/or future volunteer opportunities.
There is no “right way” to be involved — any time, extra hand, or specific skills you could offer will be appreciated. When in doubt, talk to members of the leadership team, share with them your experience in Christian service and enquire about how they think you could best help in the services of God’s Kingdom at Kingsbury Baptist Church.
Several Ways To Get More Involved
There are plenty of ways to serve at Kingsbury Baptist Church. Your choice of service usually comes down to the amount of time you can commit and where your passions lie.
First, consider your own personal interests and skills. Do you have a passion for teaching? Are you great with children? Do you love working with young adolescents? Do you have a knack for community outreach and engagement? Are you a natural at public speaking and do you enjoy it? Are you an organiser and work well in bringing out the best response in people?
If you have answered yes to any of the above, then you need to take it a step further and attend one of our services. Quite often you will find, the key to becoming more involved is simply being present and attuned to the needs of your spiritual home community. The answer may be right in front of you! God will enliven your faith in ways you can not quantify, as you devote yourself to the services of His Kingdom.
