Car Care Ministry Director

What is this serving role all about?

The Car Care Ministry Director is in charge of processing cars that are donated and working with the team of volunteers and local businesses to get the card fixed and ready to give away to people in need. This position also included screening and verifying that all recipients have insurance and the ability to maintain a vehicle.

What's something interesting or unique about this serving role?

This ministry meets a very practical need in our community. Having a reliable vehicle to get to work, take kids to school, or get groceries is huge. We take it for granted, but for others, it is their lifeline, and it allows them to maintain their independence and provide for their families.

How often do volunteers serve in this role?

This role is an ongoing position.

Finding joy in Serving

Karen Graber is an absolute rockstar of a volunteer! She leads our kitchen team for Harvest Students, serving approximately 9,000+ meals per year to our students. She also helps with special events like weddings, funerals, and large events like our Daddy Daughter Dances every February. Karen has made a tremendous impact here at Harvest, and I'm in awe of what a servant's heart she has. Harvest Students, and Harvest as a whole, are lucky and thankful to have Karen on our team.

Camera Director/Switcher

What is this serving role all about?

The Camera Director/Switcher is responsible for what the final video looks like for our online worship service, as well as the live feed to any overflow rooms in the building (Mother's Room, lobby, Kids' rooms, etc.)

What's something interesting or unique about this serving role?

This role is super interesting because, while you are part of the main worship experience, you get to be a part of creatively translating that to a TV screen, computer, or mobile device so that we can engage people who are unable to attend in person.

How often do volunteers serve in this role?

We prefer volunteers to serve once a month, but we have some people who like to serve more often. Frequency depends on individual volunteers' availability.

Who's one of the superstar volunteers currently fulfilling this role?

Benaiah is one of our high school-aged volunteers in this role. He has an awesome eye for video and is always creative.

I love serving with him.
