Serve
Greeters
Our greeter team fills a vital role, as they are usually the first contact anyone has when arriving at church – whether they are a regular member or a first-time guest. Greeters are responsible for opening up the facilities, creating a welcoming environment, answering questions, and several other things to ensure that our time of worship proceeds smoothly. Above all, they help us to feel more like a family and enable us to focus for worship.
Deacon Ministry
The Deacon Ministry is made up of spiritually mature men who have been gifted and called by God to serve the body as deacons. They have been examined and found to be qualified for the office (1 Timothy 3:8-13). Our deacons have many responsibilities including, but not limited to, service administration, ushering, offering, serving communion, building maintenance, special projects, giving special attention to “the least of these,” and managing benevolence spending. Because Jesus Christ is the literal Head of our church, these men also spend considerable time helping the elders to discern decisions while skillfully leading as servants.
Music & Worship
God-honoring, Christ-exalting, joy-deepening worship is something we strive for. We encourage people to get involved in our music and worship ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others are involved in media resources. We ask those interested in serving to become involved in our worship ministry. They are an important part of the ministry of Boquete Bible Fellowship, using their talents and gifts to glorify God. Contact: Tammy Staff, tammy@boquetebiblefellowship.com
Children’s Ministry
We have a Sunday school for younger children that meets on the back patio during the sermon on Sunday mornings. Teams of two rotate leading the kids with a Bible story, an activity, and more. The time is Christ-centered, not merely childcare, and enables parents to focus more fully on what God has for them through the preaching of the Word. If you would be willing to help serve, please contact Brandy.
Intercessory Prayer Team
We have established an Intercessory Prayer team of volunteers to pray for the ministry of the BBF family and our community. Throughout the week, the Team prays for our pastor and staff, community outreach and confidential prayer requests.
Media & Technology
Communicating the gospel via media and technology is very much a part of our world today. To that end, we have a team that coordinates sound and video during Sunday morning worship, uploads sermons to the website, and provides up-to-date information on all aspects of our fellowship to our website and Facebook page.
Translation
In our multi-lingual community, our desire is that no one is excluded from worshiping with us because of a language barrier. We provide real-time translation into Spanish using the latest in wireless technology.
Welcome Desk
Located in the back of the sanctuary, this is where you go to get a name tag, to get signed up for the weekly newsletter, and pretty much everything else! Lost and found, chair cushions, translation equipment, and more can be found at the welcome desk. Marie-France manages a small team that takes care of all this and also connects with visitors.
Slide Transition
Often unnoticed but an integral part of Sunday morning worship is the slide transition team. This is a small team of people who diligently serve us by managing the slides on any given Sunday. This is utilized for announcements, worship lyrics, and sermon notes, among other things.
Care Team
We saw a need to provide specific assistance and services to our church family. The Care Team was established to address those needs:
T: transportation – such as to appointments, meetings, church, shopping
E: errands – such as picking up medications, groceries, paying bills
A: assistance – personal help with the activities of daily living
M: meals on a short-term basis
