SERVE

We practice the way of Jesus.

Jesus invites those who follow Him to serve and love others. As we strive to cultivate the kind of family He introduced to the world, we invite you to serve within our community.

When you go to a restaurant, it's a business and you expect for someone else to make the food, set the table, and do the dishes. But when you’re family, family pitches in and everyone has a part to play. One cooks, one washes the dishes, and another grabs a towel to do the drying. At City Church OTR, family is a core value, which is why you’ll probably hear the phrase “grab a towel”. It’s a reminder that we are all in this together and that it's the only way City Church is possible - when everyone in the family grabs a towel.

We have many roles to serve around City Church and we'd love to help you find a spot that's right for you. You can learn a little more about our Sunday teams below, sign up to serve, and then a leader of the team will reach out to get you connected.

HOSPITALITY

We embrace a vision of family that extends beyond the biological. A vision of family that reflects God’s heart for relationships—and His concern for individuals in every stage of life.

One place family begins is inside our church on a Sunday. We need people to make that happen.

Whether you've never met a stranger or feel more comfortable brewing coffee behind the scenes, you can play a pivotal role in making a newcomer feel welcome and wanted.

PRODUCTION

We’re convinced something special happens when God's people gather together. We want our Sunday services to be a place where people connect with God and one another.

Our production team helps us experience the presence of God each week.

If you possess problem solving skills, attention to detail, and creativity, you can play an integral role in creating a space where God is worshipped. The Production team runs all audio and video functions of our Sunday mornings - sound, livestream, and slides.

KIDS CITY

Practicing the way of Jesus can begin at an early age.

Kids City provides a safe environment where children can play and learn while their grown ups worship. Jesus-loving adults play an important role in shaping the faith stories of our kids.

Come and experience the child-like faith of elementary school kids, crawl around with the toddlers or rock a sleeping baby while sharing the abundant love of Jesus. You may just learn something new, too. (Giggles are guaranteed.)

PRAYER

We pursue God's voice and God's power. We do so on Sunday mornings and throughout the week.

We believe God is still on the move. And that His power is not just a story of old that is out of our reach.

Listening for God's voice on behalf of others, and expecting Him to move in the life of our church is a responsibility. And we're thankful for people within our church who step into that responsibility with faith and expectancy

WORSHIP TEAM

Everything we do is centered in experiencing the presence of God, together. This focus influences the way we worship, the way we pray, and the way we gather.

Serving on the Worship Team at City Church OTR is more than a performance. It's cultivating a space where people can experience and interact with God.

Musical ability is necessary, but more importantly, so are humility and surrender. If you have musical talent - vocally or instrumentally, and a willingness to lead people in worship, we invite you to audition for our Worship Team.
