Gifts of Time and Money
Our programs run with people like you. Sunday Mornings, Wednesday Jubilee Nights, and the simple running of the Church need people to make them come together! Volunteering helps you meet more people and build deeper relationships. Everything takes time and money and the ways to help financially are below. If you'd like to help, opportunities and contacts are listed below.
This Church runs on People!
Making Our Services Work
Setup & Takedown
Volunteers arrive Sundays before Church to arrange the chairs. Special services might include tables, holiday elements.
Coffee/Tea/Drinks
Volunteers are asked to arrive at church early, follow directions to make coffee and kids juice, set up for post-service fellowship with cups etc, and then clean up after the fellowship time.
Ushers & Greeters
Volunteers arrive at church early, and welcome people as they come into church. They direct newcomers and their kids to the appropriate programs, explain post service fellowship, and lead them to ushers. Ushers explain how the service runs. After the service they attempt to help them make connections.
Children's Programs
Our largest volunteer need is running three programs for Children up to Grade Six during the service. Volunteers might tell stories, lead short discussions or assist in crafts, music, drama and more. Vulnerable Sector Checks are paid for.
Making Our Worship Work
Music Teams
If Music is your thing there might a place on one of our regular music teams or in special songs or special services as part of choirs, readings and sometimes dance.Volunteers practices before the service or during the week for special events.
Sound & Stream
If you have an ear for Sound, an interest in camera's and streaming or can just help keep the screen leading our singing and liturgy then we have opportunities! Volunteers practice with music teams before the service and help startup and shutdown all the technology!
Congregational Prayer
Congregational Prayer unites us in thinking of God's grace, our call to impact society, our need for God to move among us and be with those in need. Volunteers pray with/for us once each week.
Elder & Deacon of Service
Elders meet with the teams to encourage them and pray over them before the service. They assist with pastoral needs that may arise, The Deacon of Service makes the weekly cause known and ensures safe and confidential handling of all gifts.

Helping our People Thrive
Prayer Team
If you like seeing how God makes a difference in peoples lives, in our church and in our community then our prayer team would love you to join them. This team feels the pulse of the spirit and is a great comfort to those who need to know that people are bringing concerns they cant or can barely handle before the Lord regularly. This team meets at least weekly or as the spirit moves them.
Disability Concerns
We know we are blessed enough to assist others, but we may not always know how. This team helps make building, services and events open and safe for all of us.
Restorative Practices
When humans get together confusion, frustration and conflict can happen. The restorative practices team uses listening and responding to many voices and views to better equip each of us to work together towards better understanding and stronger relationships.
Staff Care Team
Churches are not an easy place to work and our Staff Care Team helps support our staff, ensure they are setup for success, hold them accountable for their jobs and ensure they are fairly compensated in their fields.
Giving is Investing.
Giving Options
ONE-TIME AND REGULAR GIVING
GIVE ONLINE
Every Sunday you can give to the general budget of the church or to a cause we highlight through Church Centre. Give as a guest or signup to Church Centre to store your giving information. Regular giving is easier for people and organizations. Church Centre can take regular credit and debit amounts that you pick and that you can change at any time.
DIRECT DEBIT
Giving can cost money! Save the fees by using our cheapest and most popular regular giving form. By way of fixed direct debit setup through our treasurer using the PDF form, you can set up a regular schedule. If needed, you can adjust or cancel before the next scheduled date!
BASKETS AT CHURCH
Some of us have built lifelong habits that don't involve technology. We provide two baskets on a table in the back for the cause of the week and the Church. If you write something on the envelope we can likely accommodate your wishes. Anonymous cash still works! For our kids we also provide a way to drop off money or a material donation for summer camp or designated yearly cause. Learning that giving makes your life better rather worse is a great thing to learn early.
Regular Intentional Giving
At Jubilee we talk about FIRST FRUITS giving. First fruits is about making a commitment to this community just like you do to insurance, car payments, taxes and mortgages. We encourage making a goal of giving and adjust when you need to.
By using Giving in the app or on the Web you can also setup for regular giving to any of the most popular programs and partners like CampShout or Canadian Food Grains Bank.
