Serve at St Ben's

Why we serve?

We believe that the Church is meant to be a family - and as a family it means everyone digs in, rolls up their sleeves and helps out. Joining our team means you are choosing to be part of the family, and expressing the unique and important value that you add to the family.

When we all play our part the diversity of the family shines and the impact we can have on the world is so much more beautiful.

How to serve

One of the ways we do this is by joining a ministry team. Joining a team at St Ben’s is the best way to play your part in our vision. Meet like-minded people, learn new skills, and find your fit: we can do so much together when we all get involved.

All of our teams are relational (you will make friends!) and committed to the mission of seeing people impacted by the gospel, as we all grow to become like Jesus along the way.
"But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it...to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:7-13
