I'm Interested in Volunteering!

why serve?

an affirming church for all

We strive to create a safe and loving community where all genders, sexualities, faiths, and walks of life are invited to be their authentic selves.

Help us give the gift of an affirming church to others.

growth and fulfillment

We believe serving is an essential part of our faith journey. When we serve, we not only contribute to the well-being of our church, but also, we discover personal growth and fulfillment.

a loving and accepting community

Help us change the way Christians in Redlands see and participate in the Gospel of Jesus Christ by creating a religious environment where people are completely accepted for who they are.

Volunteer Teams

⸺ Serve

  • GREETER
    Greeters are the first point of interaction that our community receives. If you love welcoming and talking to people, this is the position for you! You will be on a team that helps setup our lobby, greets at the door, collects offering, and shares any extra information about our service and our church. This position is open to all ages!

    SPECIAL FOOD
    Have a talent for cooking and want to share that with our church? Every Saturday morning, we share a special food made by someone in our congregation.

  • MUSICIAN
    If you have a musical talent, we would love to work with you in becoming involved. The process for this is meeting with our Worship Coordinator, Jeremy Kim, and he will work on including you on our Team.

    LITURGIST
    If you don't mind being on stage, this is the best job for you! Meet new people and join a group that guides our audience through our liturgy on Saturday mornings. This position is open to all ages!

    POETRY
    If writing or reading poetry is your passion, we would love to share your talent. Occasionally, we have poetry readings as a part of our service.

    ART
    If drawing or painting or any other medium of art is your passion, we would love to share it with everyone. Occasionally, we have Art features that go along with our liturgy.

  • CAMERA OPERATOR
    No experience necessary! We will go through with you how the camera works and you will be directed on certain shots we need during the service. This is the perfect position for you if you want to get involved but would rather it be behind the scenes. This position is open to all ages!

    GRAPHICS OPERATOR
    This position is also for someone who would rather do something behind the scenes. It requires no experience but needs someone who is focused to change slides throughout the service.

    PHOTOGRAPHER
    Have a passion for taking photos? We would love for you to share your talents with us by capturing the service and the personalities of our church. We will provide you with a camera unless you would prefer to use your own. This position is open on Saturday mornings or at our special events.

    VIDEOGRAPHER
    Some of the creative things we do at Paradox require videos. If you are interested in directing and coming up with ideas for certain projects, this is the position for you!

    LIGHTING OPERATOR
    No experience necessary! This person changes through preset lighting scenes to match each segment throughout the liturgy of the service.

    SOUND ENGINEERING
    If you have experience in Live Sound Engineering or if this is something that you're interested in learning about, we'd love to meet with you! This person handles all of our sound needs on Saturday mornings. This requires setup and teardown.

  • DISCUSSION GROUP LEADER
    This position leads our quarterly discussion groups (Fall and Spring) through weekly discussion questions provided by our team. Each season of discussion group is 3 months and is typically led with a co-leader.

    DISCUSSION GROUP HOST
    Hosts graciously open their homes for discussion groups to meet. This can be for a whole season or on a week-to-week basis based on availability and frequency of the group.

  • Social

    The Social Team is responsible for planning 5 events a year where our community members can get to know each other outside of Saturday mornings! Here at Paradox, we value deepening our connections with each other and we love creating spaces to foster these relationships.

    Outreach

    The Outreach Team focuses on organizing opportunities for our Paradox congregants to give back to our local community of Redlands. They help us partner with organizations such as Redlands Family Services and YouthHope to share fundraisers like the Hunger Walk, Thanksgiving Food Drive, and Christmas Shoe Drive.

    Special Services/Guest Speakers

    This team works with the Staff in researching and planning 10-15 special services a year. Special Services include Women's Service, Pride Month, Paradox Kids takeover, and all of our special guest speakers.

    Prayer & Care

    Weekly, this team prays over all of our prayer requests and in conjunction with Pastor Craig, reaches out when families are going through a tough time.
