Discipleship is not just about what we believe, it is about how we live. Jesus showed us what true greatness looks like when He washed His disciples’ feet and said that He came not to be served but to serve. As we follow Him, we are called to do the same.
“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45
Serving is not about filling a rota or ticking a box. It is about becoming more like Jesus as we love, give, and use what God has placed in our hands. When we serve, we grow in humility, strengthen the church, and bless our community.
Serving on a team is both a joy and a responsibility. It is more than helping out, it is about building God’s house together and leading by example. We ask everyone who serves to walk closely with Jesus and to be committed to the life of the church. Here are some of the expectations we hold for our team members:
You’ve personally responded to the Gospel and are following Him.
Or signed up to be baptised soon.
Or in the process of becoming one.
Or actively seeking to be.
Regularly attending Sundays and midweek gatherings where possible.
View the teams below and register your interest by completing the form or speak to us in person at our Sunday service.
Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a short description of the team you’ve registered interest in, including the responsibilities and expectations, so you can see what’s involved.
You’ll have a friendly chat with the ministry leader to discuss the role, ask any questions, and see together if it’s a good fit.
Before you start, some teams may require a simple DBS check. We’ll also provide basic training so you feel confident and equipped.
Once everything is in place, you’re ready to join the team and make a difference!
We’re here to help you grow. After your first month, your ministry leader will check in for a quick review to see how things are going. You’ll also receive regular support, encouragement, and opportunities to be equipped further as you serve.
There are many ways to serve at Gateway. Every team plays a part in helping people encounter Jesus and grow as disciples.
We’d love to help you find the right fit. If you have any questions or want to chat about where you could serve, get in touch with us, we’re here to help!
