God bestows spiritual gifts on all of us so we can use them to serve others and build up His Kingdom. In the Scriptures, we’re told that these gifts include ministries that help and provide guidance, faith, healing, teaching, compassion, charity, and more.
God doesn’t want us to hide or misuse these gifts. The Parable of the Talents in the Book of Matthew teaches us that we’re to grow and make the most of the gifts we’ve been given to honor God. We’re entrusted with no more talents and abilities than God knows we can handle, but as we deepen our faith and fully commit our hearts to His will, we’re presented with even more blessings to continue bringing glory to His name.
But how do we use our gifts wisely? At Journey Church International, we provide church service opportunities that allow each member of our congregation to develop and showcase their God-given talents. Whether you’re interested in serving in our church, around the Kansas City community, or across the globe, we have tons of ways to help you live out your calling how God intended.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.”
1 Peter 4:10
Each week, hundreds of church volunteers make Journey happen! Whether it’s helping kids learn about Jesus on their level, greeting first-time guests, or working behind the scenes on production, every volunteer is impacting our church for the better.
We know you’re busy, and a million things are competing for your time, but we also know that you’ll meet new friends and grow in your relationship with Jesus when you start serving. We have all kinds of church service opportunities to suit your personality and availability. Take a look at a few of our ministries, and sign up for Growth Track to discover where God has created you to serve!
Make a difference beyond our church in Lee’s Summit! Being disciples who make disciples is one of our core beliefs, which is why we offer both community and global church service opportunities. Through these initiatives, we’re able to be the hands and feet of Jesus to a broken and hurting world.
You’ll hear us say it a lot: we want to be a church for our community, not just in our community. We have tons of church service opportunities and partners, so you can contribute to the impact we’re making throughout Kansas City.
The last part of our mission statement declares that we want to make a difference in the world. Through our Global Impact ministry, we provide plenty of ways for you to serve and “proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15).
No matter if you want to serve in our church or with our mission partners on the other side of the world, we couldn’t be more excited to see you use your gifts to share Jesus. Reach out to our ministry team for more information about our serving and impact opportunities.
