SERVING GROUPS | Kirk Ella & Willerby
Join the team, take part and volunteer, there’s a place for you at St Andrew’s!
Church isn’t something we just “go to”, it’s something we “build together”! At St Andrew’s there are so many joyful ways to get involved: from making music to making coffee, from arranging flowers to helping with our children’s and youth groups. Volunteering isn’t just about filling a gap, it’s about discovering the fun, friendship, and above all, serving God himself alongside others.
Whatever your gift, big or small, there’s a place for you here, and we’d love you to join in! Together we make church happen!
Please note that some of our serving roles require a DBS check.
Music Group
Worshipping with music during our services
Who? Age 16+ musicians and singers
Where? St Andrew’s church
When? We regularly have a group of musicians who play for Sunday morning services, as well as throughout the year for Sunday evenings, and celebrations such as Easter, Christmas and Harvest.
What? Love worshipping God through music? Why not be part of the team that helps lead worship at St Andrew’s! Whether you play an instrument or simply enjoy singing, there’s a place for you in our music group. We meet for rehearsals, share plenty of encouragement, and then bring it all together to support our services. It’s a wonderful way to grow in faith, make friends, and use your gifts to inspire others. No need to be a professional—just bring your voice, your instrument (if you have one), and your enthusiasm!

What? A smile at the door can make all the difference! Our Welcome Team plays a vital role each Sunday, greeting people as they arrive, handing out service sheets, and making sure newcomers feel at home from the moment they step inside. If you enjoy meeting people and want to help create that all-important distinctively Christian welcome, we’d love you to join the rota. A little time, a big impact!

COFFEE ROTA
Making sure “Part Two” of the service goes smoothly
Who? Age 18 and up.
Where? St Andrew’s Church, Kirk Ella.
When? Sundays, arrive about 30mins before the service to set up and then you stay until the washing up is completed (we have a dishwasher) and the pots are cleared away. Frequency varies, the longer the rota the fewer the shifts but expect around once every 6 weeks approximately.
What? Preparing and serving drinks (hot & cold) along with biscuits, after the morning service. Cleaning up afterwards too. Serving coffee after our morning services is a simple way to offer a warm welcome, why not sign up and be part of it?
