Our icon, the Umbrella Man, represents service to others, as we aim to hold the umbrella over every “LIDE-er” – our neighborhood patrons, our faith community members and those who are part of the greater LIDE community through Community and Global Call partnership. The volunteer opportunities below have been updated to reflect our current need as of 2021.
LIDE media needs videographers, audio engineers and digital savvy volunteers who work together to produce digital videos and services for our social media platforms, digital Gathering, and in-person livestream. (LIDE Values Agreement and attendance for +6 months required)
LIDE communications needs people with a good eye for photography and video, graphic design, and copy editing to help develop creative social media content for our digital platforms.
Although our gatherings have moved online, each week is filled with fun, stories, songs and prayer. LIDE Kids needs volunteers to help run the PreSchool Clubhouse (3-4yos) that meets every 1st and 3rd Sunday, and the Kids Gathering (K-5th) that meets every 2nd and 4th Sunday. (Background check, Application process and attendance for +6 months required)
The Experience Team works together to set the stage (sometimes, literally) for Gathering events. They help in the logistics and safety of our services by providing parking lot direction and cleanup for parking lot events, passing out service materials (if needed), and setting up chairs and other event furniture.
The Liturgies Team prepares and sets up our traditional stations of worship for Gathering services: prayer candles and communion. (LIDE Values Agreement and attendance for +6 months required)
We are exploring ways to meet in-person while following COVID safety guidelines. We need volunteers to help facilitate these events. Current opportunities include: Stations of Worship, Holy Week events and Outdoor services.
The Youth Gathering needs 1-2 male volunteers to serve as Volunteer Youth Leaders for our guys small group and to contribute to our meetings. The YG follows the weekly flow of a Life Group rotation: Spiritual-week, Story-week, Spiritual-week, Social-week.
We need volunteers who can think creatively about how to safely serve Mokah beverages and other foods for our outdoor Gathering events and other Gathering related meetings that may take place in the coming months.
Umbrella Gallery volunteers help produce cutting-edge exhibitions, from installation to hospitality, promotion and show documentation. They run the social media platform.
