I have had the immense pleasure of attending and serving my church for the majority if my life. I sporadically have done elderly visitations, mission trips, food packing, and feeding the homeless. Two years ago I was the pre-school ministry intern and have continued to work with the youngest believers. However, this semester I took on a more permanent role in my service. On the first Sunday of the month, I simply attend BCCC. The second Sunday, I help lead worship in the praise band. Praise band is 4 hours of time once a month because it requires both services and two practices. The third Sunday, I assist in primary ministry which is 1st grade- 5th grade which accounts for 2 hours for both services. The fourth Sunday, I am in the two year old classroom for one hour teaching Sunday school, and if there is a fifth Sunday I am in the preschool ministry room. I began these various roles in September 2016. To date I have completed 18 hours of community service by serving the church in these capacities.
Praise Band
I love serving in this area. we practice the Wednesday before and the morning of at 7:30 am. We then lead the singing potion of worship at 9 and 11 am. I get to use my gift of singing to call attention to the Lord and it fills my spirit. I really enjoy seeing people in the audience being moved by music and worshiping with Lord.
Primary Ministry
These children make me laugh so much. Their answers are so innocent and hysterical. When I serve in this ministry I usually teach part of the lesson and lead a few songs where the kids get to do silly dance moves to remember the words of Jesus. This ministry has benefited me so much by allowing me to dig deep into the Bible stories which founded the faith I stand on today.

When I first agreed to add this to my plate as well, I thought it would just be like babysitting while their parents go to service. However, I have been amazed to watch what these children can share about their faith. They know how to pray, they know Jesus loves them very much, and they know that God created them. Most of the time, they can tell me a few Bible stories. Once I noticed their interest and understanding, I started doing mini lessons with them from the bible. They learn for 10 minutes, usually a video and a short activity or story retell. This experience has been so much fun and I am really enjoing the process of planting a seed for faith in Jesus,
