GET INVOLVED
Each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.
– 1 Peter 4:10
God has called us to serve Him by serving others. Serving can be in various forms – spending time with kids, working as a greeter, or even delivering a meal to someone in need. Serving doesn’t have to be hard. If we do all things with love, serving others is a joyful experience. Many people can find their purpose and develop their spiritual gifts through serving. Not only can it deepen our relationship with God but with other members of our community as well.

Children's Ministry
Ministry Leader: Elizabeth Rayford
The Lord is on the move in children’s ministry! We are in need of more volunteers to help us meet the needs of the families who walk through the front doors, specifically in the toddler and preschool rooms. River Bluff Church is dedicated to making disciples – what better way to do that than by ministering to children and families!
Production Team
Ministry Leader: Contact the Office
Sound, livestream, photography, and slides are all part of the production team that helps our Sunday services run smoothly. If you are savvy with computers, good with cameras, or have a good ear for sound and music, serving in the tech team would suit your skills. Even if you have little to no experience in using a sound board or livestream equipment but you’re interested in being trained up into the role, feel free to reach out to us. Here are our different tech team role descriptions:
Sound Tech
The sound person is in charge of the sound. That includes the equipment, atmospheric additions, such as music pads, pre and post service playlists, and mixing sound for worship. You will communicate with the worship leader to accommodate the technical needs of the worship team during the weekend you are serving.
Slides Person
The slides person will use ProPresenter to put relevant slides up during our Sunday services. ProPresenter is an easy program to learn and if you are are thinking about helping us do slides, we will have you shadow one of our current slides person on a Sunday so you know how it all works. You will only need to serve once every month.
