While being in worship is wonderful and a first step, you are also invited when you're ready to find a way to serve the Lord through Wright Baptist Church.
According to the Bible, God saved each of us by faith, for what? To watch tv? To stare up into the Heavens? To live just for ourselves and our personal comfort mainly? No. The Lord saved us for serving in good deeds, Romans 12:1 and Ephesians 2:10 explain to us in the Bible. This gives value and strength and God's backing to using your giftings and talents to help others in life. Since by using those, you're in God's will, where God guides, God provides.
There are a bunch of ways to connect and use your gifting and talents from the Lord (see also I Corinthians 12; or Romans 12:4-8; or Ephesians 4).
See you Sundays at 10:15 am with us! You are personally invited then also to check out some ways you might serve the Lord. As the Holy Spirit works in every Christian, so at some level, volunteering you are a part of the team here, serving Jesus in our area. What's your gifting from the Lord? Some ideas and highlights are listed on this page. It's not an exhaustive list of options, but a brainstorming. God Bless!
As a church, we value a vibrant walk with the Lord Jesus, and the presence of God's people, and leaving a legacy beyond just our own needs.

The first steps can be the toughest in life, in a job, a relationship, a place to live. However, in the walk of faith with Jesus, the Lord rewards your steps of faith, to live for Him. That's exciting. I hope you can join us as a church to make a difference.
There are so many ways to connect. If you have any interest in Drums, or Instruments, or Video, or Running a Video Camera, do let us know soon. Wright Baptist Church has lots of strengths, but those are some key opportunities.
Do you love encouraging people? Let us know. There are encouragers here already, but we'd like to add you to the group.
Do you love missions? Don't miss out on these.
There is a place to serve. Just let us know your talents and gifting, you won't be disappointed in ways to connect. There are dozens of ways to do so, as the Lord leads you.
The disciples of Jesus did not overnight just grow strong. It was a path, a way, a journey. So too in our lives.
Perhaps the Lord is leading you to step out to grow in a talent, used unto Him?
In summary, if God guides, God provides. We'll trust Him together.
