Created to Serve
At The Log Church, we believe serving isn't something we have to do — it's something we get to do. When we serve, we reflect the heart of Jesus and step into the very purpose we were created for. Wherever you are in your walk with God, there's a place for you to use your gifts and make an impact.
"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." — Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
Where Do I Fit?
There's no one-size-fits-all way to serve. God has uniquely gifted every person — your story, skills, and passions all matter. Whether you love working with kids, setting up chairs, running a soundboard, welcoming newcomers, or meeting needs in our city, there's a team where you belong.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." — 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
Below are the five ministry branches at The Log Church. Take a look, see where you feel drawn, and take the next step.
Weekend Services
Greeters • Ushers • Parking Team • Coffee Team • Setup & Teardown
Sunday mornings are often someone's first impression of Jesus and His church. The Weekend Services team creates a warm, welcoming environment from the moment someone pulls into the parking lot to the moment they head home. If you love people, enjoy a great cup of coffee, or find joy in the behind-the-scenes details, this is a great place to start. You'll be part of a fun, connected team that shows up early, serves with purpose, and sets the tone for everything God does on a Sunday.
Kids & Youth
Children's Ministry • Youth Programming • Check-In Team • Classroom Helpers • Story & Worship Leaders
The next generation matters deeply to God — and to us. The Kids & Youth team creates safe, fun, engaging spaces where children and students can encounter Jesus, ask big questions, and grow in their faith. You don't need to be a teacher or a parent; you just need a heart for investing in young people. Expect laughter, creativity, big moments, and the joy of watching a kid "get it" for the first time.
Groups & Discipleship
Small Group Leaders • Hosts • Classes • First Steps • Discipleship Mentors
Real life change happens in circles, not rows. The Groups & Discipleship team helps people take their next step with Jesus by opening their homes, leading conversations, and walking alongside others through the ups and downs of faith. If you love people, enjoy good conversation, and want to see others grow, this is a meaningful place to pour out what God has poured into you. You don't have to have it all figured out — you just have to be one step ahead and willing to walk with someone.
Behind the Scenes
Audio/Visual • Livestream & Tech • Facilities • Administration • Communications
Every Sunday morning and ministry event runs because faithful people work quietly in the background. The Behind the Scenes team runs the soundboard, keeps the livestream on air, maintains the building, organizes the data, and solves problems before anyone knows there was one. If you're detail-oriented, love problem-solving, or have a technical skill you'd like to use for the Kingdom, there's a spot for you here. It's a great fit for people who'd rather serve out of the spotlight.
Community Outreach
Local Outreach • Service Projects • Community Partnerships • Missions
Jesus didn't stay inside the temple walls — and neither do we. The Community Outreach team takes the love of Jesus out into Pittsburgh and beyond: serving neighbors, meeting practical needs, and partnering with local organizations doing Kingdom work. If your heart breaks for the hurting or you just love rolling up your sleeves and getting things done, come serve with us. Expect to be stretched, moved, and reminded that Jesus often shows up in the most unexpected places.
Take the Next Step
You weren't saved just to sit — you were saved to serve. Wherever you land, know this: the Body of Christ needs what you bring. Your "yes" to serving might be the very thing God uses to change your life and the lives of the people around you.
"Serve one another humbly in love." — Galatians 5:13 (NIV)
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." — Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
