“God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.”
Romans 12:5 New Living Translation

“A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church.”
1 Corinthians 12:7 New Living Translation

At Cedarbrook, we believe that every Christ-follower is called to serve and help others. We also believe that each and every Christ-follower has been gifted by God “to do certain things well” – things that bless people, change lives, and build up the church.

Simply put, Christianity is not a spectator sport. We are invited, urged and commanded to be participants in the work that God is doing in and through his church.

What things do you do well? What kinds of things are you interested in? How can you use the gifts and interests you have to help others? Where can you ‘plug in’ to what God is doing in and through Cedarbrook and make an impact?

Take a look at the ministry information below. Here you will get a brief glimpse of some of the ‘how and where’ you can help people in our church and surrounding community. Each column represents one of the “3 B’s” of our Purpose Statement.

When it comes to serving others, we would encourage you to "jump in with both feet." It is central to what it means to be a Christ-follower. It is a great way to build relationships and further the cause of Christ. Experience and training certainly help but are not necessary for most ministry areas. We will be happy to train you if something is of interest to you.

We would love for you to find that place in Cedarbrook where you fit – the place where you can connect with others, contribute your gifts and abilities, and celebrate all that God wants to do in you and through you as you help others.

We offer our Discovery III equipping seminar twice a year, specifically to help people discover, develop, and deploy the gifts they have received from God.

I am interested in helping people build relationships with each other while encouraging one another in their spiritual journey. I am also interested in helping people enjoy a warm and welcoming experience when they are guests at Cedarbrook.
