Serve

CONTACT ABOUT SERVING

You are called and equipped to serve.

We are called to serve others by showing God’s love in practical ways, meeting the needs within our church and communities. One of the ways we grow as disciples is finding ways to use our gifts and talents to glorify God by serving others.

We want to help every person find the right opportunities to effectively use their gifts to build up the body of Christ! There are options for every skill set, season, and schedule. Contact us to chat more about where you can serve.

Current Opportunities

  • One of the ways we grow as disciples of Christ is finding ways to use our gifts and talents to glorify God by serving one another in our church and our community. We want every person to find the right opportunities to effectively use their gifts to build up the body of Christ.

    Please indicate your interest in joining one or more service teams and our staff will follow up to get you connected.

  • We want to be a church that is ready and willing to come alongside foster families to pray and care for them as they care for the vulnerable. If you’re interested in partnering with Project Belong to provide support for our church’s foster families such as short-term childcare during appointments and errands or bringing a meal to church on Sunday, please contact our Mission Committee. (missioncommittee@capitalpresfairfax.org).

  • Our Congregational Nursery Rotation is the commitment of all church members (ages 22–72) to serve in the nursery on a schedule managed by Children’s Ministry staff.

    Our church community is a covenant family—membership in our church is a promise to love and serve one another. One practical way we do this is by looking after the littlest and loudest ones among us! Gently caring for one another’s children gives every parent the opportunity to fully engage in worship, resting in the knowledge that their kids are being kept safe and being shown Jesus.

    Please reach out to Katy Engel if you have any health concerns that would prevent you from serving.
