VOLUNTEERS
Volunteering in teams gives us the opportunity to discover our gifting and serve within the life of our church. There are also many individuals who serve in administration and accounts behind the scences at NLM but here are a few teams you might consider.
SET UP TEAM
Providing the Platform for Ministry
The Set Up Team plays a vital role in preparing the environment for worship and ministry each Sunday. Team members arrive at 8:30 a.m. to transform the school hall into a welcoming place of worship by setting up chairs, banners, the sound system, speakers, staging equipment, and other items needed for the service.
This practical ministry ensures everything is ready so that worship, preaching, prayer, and children’s ministry can begin smoothly. At the end of the service, the team also works together to pack away all equipment and return the venue to its original condition.
No previous experience is required. Full training is provided, and you will be supported by experienced team members as you learn. If you enjoy serving behind the scenes and being part of a team that helps make Sunday ministry possible, this could be the perfect place for you.
TEAS AND COFFEES
As well as refreshing the saints on a Sunday morning the refreshment team serve throughout the year during Church events expressing the gift of hospitality.
WELCOME TEAM
The welcome team are the expression of the Father’s heart in greeting people at the front of house. For many, crossing the threshold of a church can be daunting. The welcome team provide the assurance of warm welcome to all who visit and attend New Life.
THE PRAISE TEAM
A single moment in the presence of God can change a person’s life for all eternity, and ushering people into that presence is the purpose and calling of New Life’s praise & worship ministry. There are policies and practices for platform ministry at New Life, but if you would like to be part of the team in bringing God’s wonderful presence, in healing, evangelising the lost, comforting the bereaved, and leading the congregation into joyous praise and spirit-freeing worship please contact andertonmark69@gmail.com for more details.

KIDS CHURCH TEAM
Raising the Next Generation
Our Kids Church Team has the privilege of helping children discover God’s love and grow in their faith in a safe, engaging, and encouraging environment. Whether serving as a teacher or a helper, team members play an important part in sharing God’s Word through Bible teaching, worship, games, crafts, discussions, and age-appropriate activities.
This ministry is ideal for those who have a heart for children and want to invest in the next generation of disciples. Teachers and helpers work together to create a fun, welcoming atmosphere where every child feels valued and encouraged.
Training, lesson resources, and ongoing support are provided, so previous teaching experience is not essential. Because this role involves working with children, all volunteers are required to complete the church’s safer recruitment process, including an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, safeguarding training, and references in line with our safeguarding policy.
SOUND TEAM
Supporting Worship Through Sound
The Sound Team helps create an excellent worship experience by ensuring that every word spoken and every note played can be heard clearly. Working alongside the Sound Technician, team members assist with setting up, operating, and monitoring the church’s audio equipment throughout the service.
Responsibilities include preparing microphones, operating the sound desk during worship and preaching, monitoring audio levels, and helping with the setup and pack-down of sound equipment. This ministry works closely with the worship and media teams to support every aspect of the service.
No previous technical experience is necessary. If you are willing to learn and have an eye for detail, we will provide full training and ongoing mentoring to equip you with the skills and confidence needed to serve in this important behind-the-scenes ministry.
