Serve on a team
Teams are great way to make a difference in our city. They are a space to release your passions, skills, experience and spiritual gifts as you meet people, serve others, and serve God at the same time.
There is a role for everyone, whether you can commit every week or only once in a while.
Have a look below at all our different teams to see if there is one you would like to get stuck into. You can find out a bit more about each team by scrolling down this page.
Feel like you have a skill or time to give that you don’t see in the list below? Share it with us in the Skill Share box and we’ll be in touch!

Our Teams
Find out more about our teams here at Central; what they do, when they meet, and who to contact for more information!
Alpha
Alpha is a series of videos and group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. At each Alpha session, guests are hosted in a small group and watch an episode on a different question of faith – then have the chance to share their thoughts and hear what others think.
If you would like to help serve on the Alpha team – as a table host, on hospitality or on set up – then get in touch with Don to find out more! Our next Alpha course starts on Wednesday 22nd January, running for 9 weeks.
CAP (Christians Against Poverty)
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) work to give debt advice to those who are in financial need, and have a debt centre based here in Central Hall. They are always on the lookout for volunteers to help with client visits – if you are interested and want to find out more, then get in touch with Mairi!
Cafe
You can help serve soup, coffees and cakes, help in the kitchen or just be on hand to chat to our lovely guests! Our visitors are from all walks of life and we serve them with drinks & food, kindness & help. To find out more, contact Sheena.
The cafe runs during the day on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Hang out with our young people and help them grow as disciples. Help lead and facilitate discussions, and have fun playing games and having socials throughout the year! If you would like to find out more, get in touch with Connaire!

Kids
Our passion is to see kids grow in their relationship with Jesus. To see kids take ownership of their own faith as they pray, listen to God, worship, laugh, have fun, cheer one another on and lead each other. What a joy. To find out more, get in touch with Matt.
The Kids Team serve on Sunday mornings, at our 10:30am gatherings.
Prayer
We love to serve God and serve each other through prayer and prophecy, we believe that God hears us when we pray, that he is moved when we pray and we believe that we can learn to hear his voice too!

Tech
We are a team who serve our church family by ensuring that all our visuals and audio line up exactly right!
From lyrics and slides, to sound engineering, to online mixes; this team is involved in each part of the process!

Soul Food
Soul Food offers a free, hot meal to anyone who needs it. If anyone, for any reason, is struggling to put food on the table, they are invited to join us each Sunday between 2pm and 3pm, where they’ll be provided with a delicious main course and dessert, along with tea and coffee.

Sunday Setup
The Sunday Setup team plays a crucial role each week in helping to set up our building well so that we can gather together in worship on Sunday mornings. We set up the chairs and ensure that our building feels like a welcoming space for our church family and those visiting.
The Sunday Setup team usually arrive for 9am to setup for the 10:30am gathering.
Welcome
We love to welcome new people to our church! The welcome team come slightly earlier on a Sunday, and greet people as they come through the door; giving them a warm welcome and helping people connect in to the life of Central. If this sounds like it’s the team for you, then get in touch!
The Welcome Team usually serve at our 10:30am and 7pm gatherings.
Worship
We are a team of musicians of lots of ages and stages who love to worship God through music.
We are open for new people to join us and have a short, informal audition ahead of joining the team. Get in touch with Ruth to chat more.
