Worship by Serving
There are many ways we each can serve our church family and our neighbors as we live out lives of worship.
Make new friends as you serve alongside others who are a part of Gulf Coast. Whether it’s using your God-given gifts and talents or doing something that you least expected, serving others is at the heart of the gospel and the ways of Jesus.

Band

The sound team creates both the in-house mix as well as our digital broadcast mix. They use a digital board, which enables the band to control their own in-ear monitors.

Community & Care
Ministry Partnerships
We want to communicate, build relationships, and connect our church to our ministry partners who are serving in various mission fields locally across the globe. To serve on this team means staying in touch with one of our ministry partners, looking for ways to serve them, and keeping us informed of their efforts.
Leader: Ryan Carver
Benevolence
If you have a heart of compassion, a “listening ear,” and rely on God-given wisdom to help those who have needs, we would love for you to consider serving in this ministry. This team ministers to people who find themselves in various tough situations and attempts to steward our collective resources so none would have “need.”
Leader: Jerry Cisar
Building & Grounds
Coordinate and apply skilled trades to maintain/improve facilities or help us with maintenance and various projects if you “have a strong back” or are “a little handy around the house.”
Leader: Reggie Williams
Events
This ministry team serves through planning, decorating, and coordinating our special events. As a church, we love to celebrate and spend meaningful times together. Our event team helps to make these times extra inviting and memorable.
Leader: Carolina Brinkley, Jennifer McNair
