Serve With Us

Communications Team
Good communication is vital to the health of any church and we’d like to prioritize that more here. If you have a background or interest in marketing or communications, we would love to have you help us evaluate and develop our communication plan. If you’re interested, please contact Pastor Hansoo at hansoojin@renewalchurch.org.


Join Welcoming Team!

The Welcoming Team is in need of volunteers! If you are looking for a way to serve at Renewal, consider welcoming!  All ages, personalities, and stages of life can participate. If you can make it to service 30 minutes early 1-2 times a month, and if you have a heart for our church to be a welcoming space, please join us! Email renewal.welcomingcommittee@gmail.com if you are interested or want to learn more.


Scripture Reading

We have members of our church read scripture for us each Sunday. Our rotation currently means each volunteer would read 2-3 times per year. If you are interested in reading for us please sign up here!


Praise Team & Sound

We are in need of volunteers to join the West Philly praise team and sound. If you are interested, please reach out to worship@renewalchurch.org


Pretzel Pickup Help:
We are in need of volunteers who are willing to pick up pretzels for our after service fellowship snack. All costs will be reimbursed. If you are able to serve our congregation in this way, please sign up here.
PRAY WITH US

Advent: Love

  • Pray for those who are vulnerable during this season – whether they lost a loved one, left the faith or are unchurched, or are marginalized by society. 
  • While the holiday season can be joyous for many, it can also be a time of loneliness and strife, so let’s also pray that the Lord’s love will envelop his people and that we would exude Christ’s heart for those around us. 

 

 

DIACONATE CARE

If you have any felt needs (physical or spiritual), please contact the Renewal Diaconate (care@renewalchurch.org). One of our deacons or deaconesses will schedule a time to meet with you.  

  • We look to offer the compassion and love of Christ as we meet and pray with you.
  • We will walk with you through a process that our Diaconate team has made to see how we can best help you.
  • We serve alongside the community of members of Renewal and our leadership team of pastors and elders.
