Serve | The Story Church

At The Story, we believe everyone has a part to play.

God has equipped each one of us with a special gift and purpose to serve His body. So no matter what life stage you’re in or where you are in your faith journey, there’s a place for you to belong and serve.

Sunday Teams

Hospitality

Serve as one of the first faces guests interact with as they walk through our doors. Members of this team greet guests and pass out study guides, help others connect to the church, and prepare and serve communion. Our Hospitality team helps each individual who walk through our doors feel like they have a place to belong at The Story.

Coffee Bar

Our volunteer baristas not only help keep our coffee bars stocked with hot coffee, they also have a chance to intentionally connect with guests and make them feel at home. Baristas brew coffee before service, restock donuts, and sell tasty treats and books.

Kids & Student Teachers

Help share the Gospel with the next generation! Classroom teachers lead different age groups through appropriate Jesus-centered lessons and activities, using Story-provided resources such as crafts, videos, and more. This is a great way for parents to serve with their family! For the safety of our children, a background check is required for this team. We also have opportunities to serve on our Check-In Team for Nursery and Kids. Volunteers in this area help guests print their check-in tags and offer directions to the classrooms.

Parking

Volunteers on this team don safety vests and help visitors experience a seamless arrival as they pull into our parking lot. Team members help visitors navigate the one lane aisles to find an open spot and give directions on where to enter. This team helps each guest feel like they are expected and cared for.

Media Production

Our Media Production crew makes all of our worship services run smoothly. You don’t have to be tech savvy to learn how to run slides or a livestream camera - we provide all the training you’ll need! If you’ve ever wanted to take a peek behind the scenes of our worship services or know more about what a live production looks and feels like, this is the team for you.

Worship & Musicians

If you know how to play an instrument or love singing, our Worship Team is the perfect fit! Every week The Story’s bands lead us through a time of worship, incorporating both traditional and contemporary worship music. Band members rotate within a schedule so you can participate as frequently as you’d like, or also serve on other teams during the time between your worship team bookings. Auditions are held seasonally for our worship band.

Strategic Partnerships

GO Ministries partners with local leaders across the Dominican Republic who desire to redeem people, renew their communities and restore creation by forming dynamic mutually transformational partnerships. GO empowers leaders primarily through church planting, nutrition centers, medical clinics, sports outreach, primary schools, ongoing training, water purification projects, and kingdom businesses. Contact us to learn more about taking your small group or family to the DR, or stay in the loop for upcoming summer trips to join.

Houston Welcomes Refugees helps ease the resettlement process for refugees coming to Houston by mobilizing invested, caring volunteers and fostering hope amidst crisis. They accomplish this through donation drives of household necessities, putting together teams to help refugees set up and move into their new homes, and creating small groups that commit to a six-month journey of welcoming the refugees as they arrive and adjust to their new lives.

Jubilee Prison Ministry takes the Gospel to prisoners behind bars in nearly a dozen locations across Texas. They regularly host volunteer-run “Jubilee Weekends” where members can spend a weekend inside the prisons worshiping, eating, growing, and praying together with prisoners or serve outside on support teams by preparing meals, resources, and praying over the entire group. At every Jubilee Weekend, we aim to talk less, listen more, and love always. If there’s one thing we’ve heard again and again, it’s that everyone – prisons and volunteers alike – leave absolutely changed.

LifeHouse of Houston is a Christ-centered ministry ensuring life for unborn children by providing opportunities for housing, help and hope for young women during their pregnancies and beyond. LifeHouse seeks to reach women with the life-changing power of the gospel of Jesus. Most women find LifeHouse at their point of greatest desperation. Pregnant, homeless, lacking any family or support system, they enter the doors of LifeHouse to meet Jesus with skin on.

Loaves and Fishes is a ministry under Magnificat House whose mission is to be a welcoming community where those needing housing, food and mental health programs can stabilize and grow in productivity and independence. Loaves & Fishes is a large soup kitchen in downtown Houston where 300-350 of Houston’s chronically hungry gather six days a week for nutritious, hot, home-cooked meals cooked by our staff and served by volunteers.
