SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

God has uniquely gifted each believer to serve and strengthen the body of Christ for the work of His kingdom.
Do you love welcoming people? Prefer working behind the scenes? Enjoy helping things run smoothly? There’s a place for you to serve.

Judson KIDS exists to inspire and guide the next generation to know Jesus. As a member of the Judson KIDS team, you get to pour into kids’ lives through teaching, playing, and encouraging them in their faith. Every moment you invest—whether leading a small group, helping with activities, or welcoming families—plants seeds that can grow into a lifelong relationship with Christ. Serving isn’t just about helping kids; it’s about being part of a team that shapes hearts, builds joy, and makes faith come alive!

The Soul Food Pantry is a ministry of Judson Church dedicated to meeting the practical needs of families in Joliet and the surrounding area. Volunteers help provide groceries and essential items, giving each family food for a day—or more—while offering a welcoming and caring presence. By serving, you help meet immediate needs and show God’s love in a tangible, meaningful way.

Do you sing or play an instrument? God uses the music of His people to plant gospel truth deep in our hearts, teach these truths to one another, and fuel our praise and thanksgiving. Songs shape our faith—often more powerfully and memorably than spoken words alone. When we lead worship, we bless the Lord, proclaim His promises, and invite the congregation to encounter Him through music.

The Judson Tech Team supports our Sunday morning music and preaching teams to help lead the congregation in worship. Volunteers serve in areas like sound, lighting, and media, ensuring every song, message, and moment is experienced clearly and powerfully. By using your skills behind the scenes, you play a vital role in creating an environment where hearts can connect with God.

God has blessed our congregation with a building and property to worship Him and serve our community. Our Resource Team coordinates volunteers who help care for these spaces through tasks like lawn care, painting, chair setup, and cleaning projects. By serving behind the scenes, you help create an inviting and functional environment where ministry can thrive.

The Sunday Morning Guest Service Team helps create a welcoming and smooth experience for everyone who walks through our doors. Volunteers serve as greeters, ushers, hospitality hosts, chair setup helpers, information guides, and even snow shoveling helpers—ensuring guests and members feel valued, safe, and cared for. By serving on this team, you make a tangible difference in helping people connect with God and community each week.

Kids Hope USA is a school-based mentoring program that connects caring adults with elementary students for one-on-one support during the school day. Mentors meet weekly with the same child to listen, read, play games, and build a consistent, encouraging relationship. The program also includes prayer partners who support mentors and students through prayer.
