Missed Orientation? You Can Still Volunteer!

We are so thankful for the brand-new volunteers who have stepped up to help! However, as we prepare for the fall season and our church’s exciting transition, we could really use 12+ more volunteers to help set us up for success. Your involvement will be key to ensuring everything runs smoothly during this important time.

Why Volunteering is Simple and Flexible:

  • Minimal Time Commitment: You’re only required to arrive 15 minutes before service, making it easy to fit volunteering into your Sunday routine.

  • Flexible Scheduling: With Planning Center, you’re in full control of your schedule. Simply block out the dates when you're unavailable, so you serve when it fits your life. Whether you can commit to serving every month or every other month, we welcome your involvement!

Why Your Help Matters:

Volunteers play a crucial role in making sure our church feels welcoming and well-supported as we transition into the next season. From greeting to hospitality and behind-the-scenes work, every volunteer helps create a smooth, inviting experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Digital Church, 11am ET

Good Shepherd New York continues to post weekly online gatherings. We know that many are still uncomfortable or unable to attend in-person gatherings and a wider community beyond New York has begun to engage. We continue to move toward each other through these digital gatherings, our digital kid’s program, and our other community initiatives. You can visit our YouTube channel at digitalchurch.nyc and spread the word!

If you live beyond NYC and are interested in joining a digital small group, please email Alex (alex@goodshepherdnewyork.com).
