Introduction Letter
When we think of "volunteer," we almost always think of a great cause. Maybe it's a temporary situation, where a natural disaster devastates a population, and they need immediate hands on help for a few weeks. Maybe it's a need that seems like it will always exist, like world hunger or caring for orphans. But volunteer in the context of the Church has the greatest cause- the spread of the gospel to a lost world.
It's important to recognize a few things about your role as a volunteer at Grace Life Church. First, your value is found primarily in Christ. Jesus lived a perfect life during which He showed us how to serve, and because of His death and resurrection, we can serve empowered by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5). Second, we desire to see you grow closer to God, which is why we provide service opportunities in the first place. Serving causes the eyes of your heart to open in ways you may have never considered. It is the training grounds where God teaches us true humility and love (Romans 12). Third, you are loved not because of your service, but because you are an integral part of the body of Christ. We have all been given different gifts but we are all connected as we serve the same God (1 Corinthians 12). We encourage you to serve with a willing heart, and to talk to us if you are struggling.
As you step into the role God has designed for you, know that I am praying that He will continue to show you the extent of His love as He transforms you into the image of Christ. My hope is that you will find peace and satisfaction in new ways as you find your place in serving God with the people of Grace Life Church.
In Him,
Ben Beck

(Three basics)
Our volunteers recognize the need to connect because of the gospel through Sunday morning services, LifeGroups, and other events in our community.
Our volunteers desire to grow in the gospel as they personally study the Bible as well as engage in discipleship groups.
Our volunteers take on God's mission to influence with the gospel in everyday life as they share Jesus with family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
