Lake Forest Church is not an institution or a building, it’s a community of people who are on a journey of pursuing Jesus together. And we need each other to make it all happen.
There are so many places to make an impact at Lake Forest; not only does your service honor God and show love to our church family, but it’s also a great way to meet others.
GREETERS – Offer a welcoming smile to people as they arrive for church.
USHERS – Help prepare our space for worship, then guide people to their seats. Communion serving and offering collection are also often involved.
COFFEE TEAM – Serve up coffee and lemonade with a smile! No barista experience required.
PARKING – Help direct traffic flow and keep everyone safe in the parking lot. (Bonus: a really cool yellow vest!)
