Different Gifts, Same Spirit
Different Gifts, Same Spirit
Sharing our God-Given Gifts with Second-Ponce
At the top of our Volunteer Opportunities webpage you'll find this Scripture: There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. (1 Corinthians 12:4-6, NIV)
We believe God gives us all specific talents and passions that can be used to make our church ministries more purposeful, more joyful and more successful. Below are current volunteer opportunities (some established and some new). As we move into the busy holiday season, we ask you to consider your unique gifts and how they could be used to glorify God at Second-Ponce.
Do you have one or some of these gifts:
Managing detailed tasks or projects
Finding quick solutions to on-the-spot problems (it's live TV!)
Thinking creatively about using technology as a ministry
Operating technology equipment and programs (no experience required)

We're currently seeking folks to help with camera work and graphics. If you're interested in joining our team, we'll provide you with easy training and get you into the Sunday rotation as soon as possible. Here are the roles we're seeking help with:
• Camera Operators: We have two directly controlled cameras (the ones you see in the balcony) and a few remote-controlled cameras that are managed in the control room. In this role, you'll ensure that our broadcast looks great and captures all the key moments of our service.
• Graphics Managers: These volunteers are responsible for managing graphics that are displayed in the bottom 1/3 of the screen during the broadcast, including names, titles and hymn lyrics.
