Opportunities to
Serve
As

just a few ways that you can serve as lay servants
of our Lord through this congregation:

all ages to enhance their lives, ministry, spiritual
life, and outreach?

Kids, the Re-cycling program and
other social conscious/helping ministries.
Daily Opportunities
Opportunities

Labels for Education and The Magic Toiletries Basket
for Skyline Urban Ministries.
Maintenance Team
This is a group of people in our
church that gets their hands dirty changing light
bulbs, fixing toilets, painting walls, and doing
whatever they can to save us calling in
professionals to do fix-it jobs we could have done
ourselves---hence, saving the church many, many
dollars in labor costs.
Missions
Ministry
The Missions
Ministry helps us plan international and local
mission experiences. Project Transformation, our
Annual Mission Trip, the Boy’s Ranch Rodeo, Mission
Shares program, etc. are included in the portfolio
of this ministry team. This team helps us carry the
good news to the world.
Permanent Endowment Committee
This committee
is to design and monitor an ongoing plan for
building a permanent endowment at FUMC, the interest
of which could fund much of our capital needs. Now
we are funding building repair and capital needs out
of the budget. An endowment could free our
offerings for ministry instead of brick and mortar.
Staff Parish
Relations
This is the personnel committee of
the church and works directly with the District
Superintendent of the North OKC district when there
are appointed pastor positions to fill. This group
is the group that supports, encourages, challenges
and oversees all staffing of the church.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen
Ministry is grounded in Jesus' command to love one
another. Through one-to-one caring relationships,
those who are hurting receive the love and care they
need to support them.
Youth Council
This group, made up of youth and
adults oversees our Youth ministry department and
works with our Youth Pastor to provide quality youth
ministry in our church.

and Nurture Ministry

helps us respond to visitors, new member and create
a welcoming environment for all who enter the doors
of our church via worship, Sunday school, etc.

not only the quality of all our worship experiences
and space, but also dreams about what we can do to

Banners for the sanctuary, to decorate for Christmas
