Ways to Serve

Meal planning, prep, cooking, serving, delivery and clean up are all ways in which you can serve.  please call the church office at 937-698-4401 for more information.

Precious Beginnings

The Precious Beginnings ministry is a way to support families with new children.  After the arrival of a new addition to the family, the Hoffman community takes care of the evening meal for the family for a week.  Each evening, a willing servant provides a home cooked meal and delivers it to the family.

Bulldog Bags
 Our Children’s Ministry Director also heads up a program to provide weekend food for students with food insecurity. During the school year, volunteers gather weekly to bag up healthy treats that are distributed to students before the weekend. Many hands make for light work, and it is a good time to get to know other community and Hoffman members, too. 
Spark!

Spark! is our wonderful Children’s Ministry, serving children from nursery through elementary school. In our Open Door service, we have a new preschool children’s church, along with a nursery, to nurture the faith of our youngest worshippers.

Ignite

Ignite is our teen youth group (grades 6-12). We are always looking for passionate adults to walk alongside the youth as a youth group advisor.

Sunday Hospitality Servants
Each Sunday, many faithful servants at Hoffman use their gifts to make our church a warm and welcoming place for everyone, no matter where they are in their spiritual journey.  Below are just a few of the ministries we encourage you to check into.
Greeters
These outgoing individuals enthusiastically greet those coming to worship at one of the two sanctuary doors.  Our greeters also hand out bulletins and connect visitors with the Ushers. 
Ushers
Our Ushers official radical hospitality to visitors by welcoming them, connecting them with other members and directing them to our Welcome Center and Hospitality Table. The Ushers are also responsible for collecting the offering, helping with Communion and other duties as needed. 
 
Hospitality Table
Each Sunday, the Hospitality Table is filled with donuts and other breakfast items as well as coffee, juice and water to encourage those exiting or arriving for worship or Sunday school to fellowship with one another. These servants give a few hours of their time every few months to setup, serve and clean up.  
Worship Servants
These servants work together as we all seek to worship and honor the Living God each Sunday.
Audio-Visual Team
This team works hand-in-hand with the Worship Design Team to enhance the worship service.  Anyone with technical computer skills or graphic experience should consider serving the church in this way.
