Joyful Sacrificial Service
Serve Teams
Serve
At TBC, we are a people captivated by the love of Christ, filled with the deep joy and privilege of serving Him and His body. Our service is a heartfelt response to His grace, driven by a desire to honor Him. We serve sacrificially—wherever, whenever, and however He calls—reflecting the gospel of Jesus, who gave His life for us. In serving, we grow as disciples and join in God’s mission to transform lives for His glory.
We believe that every member has unique gifts and talents that can be used to build up the body of Christ and serve those in need. Whether it’s through volunteering in our ministries, helping with church events, or reaching out to the community, we encourage everyone to find their place of service. By serving, we not only follow Jesus’ example but also experience the joy and fulfilment that comes from giving of ourselves for the benefit of others.
Why Serve?
We serve at church because it’s central to our mission of making and growing disciples of Jesus. Serving is an act of obedience to Christ, who came not to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45). As we use our gifts to serve, we help build the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14), enabling the church to be a place where lives are transformed by the gospel.
Serving allows us to live out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), reaching others with the love and message of Jesus. It deepens our own faith, helping us grow as disciples, and reflects Christ’s sacrificial love to the world (John 13:34-35).
In everything we do, we aim to see lives transformed by the gospel, aligning our hearts with God’s vision for His people. Serving is not just a task; it’s part of our mission to glorify God by making disciples who make disciples.
Every week at Toongabbie Baptist Church, many people use their God-given gifts and time to make and grow disciples of Jesus. As we serve, the Holy Spirit is at work in and through us, so it’s not just about doing a job—it’s about God working in us for His glory and our good. We praise God for our team leaders and volunteers and encourage you to pray for all our ministry teams.
It’s our hope that everyone who calls TBC home would serve in at least one ministry and grow in joyful sacrificial service and generosity for the sake of the Gospel. There are many ways to serve at TBC, based on ministry needs, your gifts, and your availability.
