OPPORTunities to Serve

Whether you’re new to our church family and looking for a way to serve for the first time or you’ve been around a while and are looking to try something new, we’ve got a number of ways for you to get connected and get involved. Check out the opportunities below. If you can’t find what you’re looking for or need more information, please give us a call and we’ll find a way to get you connected and serving.   


  • Hospitality

    We are always looking for volunteers for Saturday or Sunday before, during or after worship! We would love for you to help read scripture, greet people as they come into church, take up the offering, help serve communion, or even provide refreshments for fellowship time before or after service. Please contact Pastor Charles for scheduling and more opportunities.

  • Ministry

    Ministry is about serving in a community. Whether it be in children’s ministry, youth “YFI” ministry, as a member of our card ministry, Sunday school, or small group ministry, we’ve got a place for you to get connected and serve in our New McKendree community. 

  • Missions

    Serving God’s people is how we live out our love for God and God’s people. At New McKendree, our “Go Team” and our United Methodist Women ministries offer multiple opportunities to live out our call to serve. Whether it be locally, nationally, or abroad, we’ve got a place for you to serve.  

  • Administration

    New McKendree office volunteers are always welcomed to help with various administrative duties. We need help assembling and mailing the newsletter each month, along with other special mailings throughout the year. Volunteers are also needed occasionally to greet those who call or come into the church office when our administrative employees are out of the office.
