POINT of GRACE

Jesus taught that a person is actually happier when his or her life is marked by serving others ("it's more blessed to give..."). It's not a message you hear much in ads or popular media but anyone who has tested his teaching KNOWS it's true. A life of service has benefits the selfish life will never know, just to name a few:

​

• True significance from helping somebody

• The pleasure of feeling God's pleasure

• Increased freedom from envy (aka "rat race")

• The camaraderie of serving with others.

​

With knowledge that your life is making a difference for all of eternity, the satisfaction from serving increases all the more. At POG, we believe God has gifted every person uniquely. We believe that God is the master of bringing diverse passions and personalities to build a team of people ready to do far more than anyone can do alone. Actually, scripture doesn't call it a "team" but something much more profound--the body of Christ. In other words, he continues his healing, hope-giving, need-meeting ministry through his church. Currently, we have the following service teams available:

​​

• Worship (John Crossman)

• Prayer (Anthony O'Connell)

• Hospitality (Beverly Campbell)

• Growth Groups (Mickey Best)

• Kids Church (Diane Best)

• Youth Ministry (Mickey Best & Colton Best)

• Potlucks (Sondra Hefty)

• Missions (Scott Sallstrom)

• Tech (Ross Brown)

• Facilities (Mickey Best)

• Events & Outreach (Brad & Edna Carlson)

• Administration (Ross Brown)

​

If you're interested in finding out more about a particular team, please contact the team's leader. Besides joining a team, we have one-time opportunities to get involved such as workdays and events planned by the Events and Outreach Team that require participation from the entire body. If you feel God has given you a particular passion to serve others, please contact Mickey to discuss as we're always looking for new ways to glorify God and serve others.
