We are delighted that you want to join the team of volunteers at Houston’s First Baptist Church! Below, you can preview several opportunities to volunteer, ranging from one-time events to on-going commitments, from behind-the-scenes tasks to front-and-center positions, from working with preschoolers to working with senior adults! With this variety, you are sure to find an area that best fits your interests, gifts, and availability.
What are your gifts?
If you are unaware of your spiritual gifts, heart passions or personality traits, we are offering a confidential spiritual gifts assessment free of charge complements of HFBC!
While completion of this assessment is not required to volunteer, it can better assist you in determining where to serve with your spiritual gifts. Here’s what to do:
- Go to the OnLine Spiritual Gift Assessment form.
- Select “A “Partner Code” was given to me.”
- Enter Partner Code JEUNUPUSUB
- Your results will immediately and ONLY be sent to the Missions & Connection Center staff. It is vital that you include your name and contact information.
- PLACE ministries will not use your personal information for any purpose other than to identify who you are to HFBC.
- If you have trouble after you enter it once, please contact Malcolm Marshall at 713.335.6453 or malcolm.marshall@HoustonsFirst.org. He will be able to assist you. Reentering the code will cause us to be charged for a second assessment.
You will be able to print out your results when finished. If you have any questions about your gifts, contact Malcolm Marshall in the Prayer, Missions & Connection Center.
Now that you know your spiritual gifts, here’s how you can Get In The Game:
1. Explore the List
The list is in alphabetical order by department. Once you’ve explored the opportunities, take time to prayerfully consider where God wants you to serve.
Select an area below that interests you to be taken directly to those opportunities!
2. Tell Us Your Interests
When you’re ready to Get In The Game, click one of the “Get Involved” links. You’ll be taken to a short form asking you to provide basic information about who you are and to indicate up to three volunteer opportunities that interest you. Submitting the form simply tells us that you’re interested and that you want more information.
3. Talk With a Team Leader
After you submit the form, a volunteer team leader will contact you within a few days about taking the next step. This may be a one-on-one meeting, or a group meeting with other interested soon-to-be volunteers!
It’s no secret to the HFBC family that great things happen when God’s people come together to do His work for His kingdom. No matter what your vocation, gifts, interests, passions, personality traits or availability may be, there is a place for you to Get In The Game! Thanks for taking this first step toward serving at our church—whether it’s for the first time or yet another role in a lifetime of volunteering.
