Serve

Make a difference.

Serving others is a great way to make a big church feel like your church. Through serving in a ministry at HDC, your oikos gets to see your beliefs in action. You are investing not only in those you serve, but in their oikos and yours.

God has wired all of us with different gifts and talents, so we want to use those gifts to prepare others to change their worlds for Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12). So, whether you are gifted in music, productions, design, hospitality, working with kids or students, welcoming people to your campus or hosting a small group (just to name a few), we want to help you discover how God has shaped you. Let us help you find a way to impact the lives of children, students, or adults.

We know God is going to use you to prepare every generation to change their worlds for Christ (1 Corinthians 15:58). Of course, there are some basic requirements to serve at HDC. We ask that every volunteer attend HDC for at least 6 months. We also want everyone who serves to attend HDC’s membership class within 6 months of serving on a team. It’s always better if you attend the class before you fill out an application so you know what you’re getting into, but if you haven’t attended the class yet we can help you take that step.


Here are 3 simple steps to serving at HDC.



Application

Please fill out an application below. We should get back to you within a week.


Interview

Once we have gone through the application, we will set up a face to face interview. It's really a meeting to hear what God has done and is doing in your life. We want to know why you want to serve and review the expectations that each ministry has. It also gives you a chance to ask us questions about what you will be doing and your expectations.


Orientation

Once you've gone through the interview and have been approved to serve in a ministry, we will train you so that you can use your gifts to effectively prepare others to change their worlds. Then the ministry director will give you the next steps.
