How Can I Get Involved?

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

At Calvary we believe service is a great way to get involved and get connected with the Body of Christ. Being connected is vital to a Christian’s growth in relationship to the Lord. Our desire is to see the Holy Spirit empower you with specific gifts for the edification of all, and the benefits of service are evident: pleasing to God, helpful to others, fulfilling your role in the Body; building relationships. Many people who reside in Miami Beach stay for a short season; God says, “Grow where you are planted.” We welcome you to make CCMB the home and family where you fulfill your role in the Body of Christ

Steps to Getting Involved at Calvary Chapel Miami Beach:

1. Pray. Ask the lord to confirm that Calvary Chapel Miami Beach is your home church and that He would bless this place through your gifts, talents, offerings, and service. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your life with gifts which will be useful and fruitful.

2. Seek. Speak to a pastor or coordinator about your desire to help and to find out the current need for volunteers in different ministries here at Calvary. Many areas of involvement have no requirements for direct involvement (such as special maintenance days), some areas require up to six months of regular attendance before participation, or other requirements. Whatever you do, do with your whole heart, as unto the Lord.

3. Shine. You will be asked to first be a part of Team Sparkle, a group of believers who come early and put the finishing touches on the preparation for the services at Calvary and stay after to restore the shine afterward. Being a part of this prerequisite team is the first step in faith-building, hands-on service.

4. Stretch. There are many opportunities to use the God-given gifts and talents that are working in you. After serving on Team Sparkle for 2-3 months, consider one of the ministry areas and fill out a ministry questionnaire and indicate your desired ministry**. Be prepared to serve in an area other than where your natural abilities are. If the area of ministry desired is in the Children’s/Youth Ministry area, you must also complete the Children’s/Youth Ministry Confidentiality Questionnaire. Please return the completed questionnaire to the church office or your ministry overseer or coordinator within one week.

**Notice**
If you are filling out this form to serve in the Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry or any other ministry that involves minors, you will be asked to sign a release form for a criminal background check. (This form will be in the Children’s Ministry Questionnaire.)
