Opportunities to Serve

Volunteer Application

Syndal Baptist Church relies on the teams and volunteers who help run our services, ministries, and maintenance.

We are in need of more volunteers, so we encourage you to be thinking about the role you might be able to play in the life of Syndal Baptist Church.

The teams with the highest need are our kids teams, connect teams and hospitality teams.

Scroll down to read about all the ways you can get involved at Syndal.

*Please keep in mind that some roles in our church have pre-requisites and so we can't offer a form for all possible roles. We would still love to hear from you and chat to you about where you can get involved.

Connect Team

Whether people are new or regular, we want everyone to feel like Syndal is their home from the moment they drive into the carpark to the moment they drive out again. We need teams who will greet and connect with people before and after the service.

This may involve standing at the door saying 'hello' to people as they arrive. It may involve helping people connect into the community through conversations and introductions or by inviting them into an age and stage ministry to help them build deeper connections with others.

To find out more, contact Larissa at lwanstall@sb.org.au

Tribe Kids Team

We need help in our kids programs at both our 9am and 11am services. We are looking for people to help with various roles working with different age groups.

You might want to help with preschool, lower primary or upper primary age groups. There are opportunities to help with check in, technology, teaching, worship, or running activities.

You could help out weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

To find out more, contact Ruth at rbawden@sb.org.au

Service Production Teams

Multimedia Team

Every service involves the display of media on screens. We need people with the technical skills to click through the song lyrics and the sermon slides.
We don't need experts, but people who are fairly comfortable with computers.

Set-Up and Maintenance

Gardening Team

Just like at your house, lawns keep growing and gardens can run wild without being tended. Our property is one of the first impressions we'll make as a church and so we need people who will help make sure it's a good one! This involves mowing, weeding and tidying gardens and grass areas.

To find out more, contact Peter at pburrows@sb.org.au

Facilities Maintenance

Are you a bit of a handy-man or handy-woman? We need you to help us maintain our facilities! It might include painting, fixing things, moving things around, cleaning or tidying up certain spaces . If you have expertise and would be willing to be included in our 'call list' for when things need fixing, we would love to have you on the team!
