There are several opportunities to serve at our church! Here is a list of several of those opportunities:
-Teacher/Assistant for children’s Sunday School class (Sunday mornings, 9:45-10:45am) – we have two children’s Sunday School classes, Bible Searchers (1st-3rd) and Bible Learners (4th-5th), as well as a Youth class (7th-12th). The student would be responsible for either preparing and teaching the class (we currently use Answers in Genesis curriculum they would use), or assisting the teacher in the class
-Nursery (9:45-10:45am, 11:00am-12:00pm) – the student would serve on a rotational basis in the nursery with another person. they would be responsible for watching/interacting with the babies and toddlers during this time, changing diapers if needed, and clean up the room after Sunday School or Sunday morning worship
-Sunday night Youth (5:30-7:30pm) – this is a little more free range of what could be done (with approval from the pastor). It has been used for fun events to build more relationships (bowling, Christmas party, Winter Jam, etc.), as well as nights for teaching. What is taught is flexible, doesn’t follow a set curriculum like Sunday morning, unless it would help the student with more structure (which the pastor is more than willing to help with), with the desire to help the students grow more in their relationship with Christ and with one another
-AWANA (Sunday evenings, 5:30-7:30pm) – we have several roles in AWANA students could serve in, and three different age groups (Puggles – 3 year old-K, Sparks – 1st-3rd, TnT – 4th-6th). There is game master, which would lead games for the three different groups on a rotation. There is snacks, helping with the adult volunteers in preparing and serving a meal we feed the kids every Sunday evening. There is teacher/helper in teaching lessons from the book, helping kids with reciting their verses, etc.
-Preaching for Sunday evening service (6:30-7:30pm), teaching a devotional for Wednesday night prayer meeting (7:00-8:00pm) – This would be a wonderful opportunity for Pastoral Leadership students. Providing an opportunity for them to sharpen their preaching/teaching skills. For Sunday evening service, we typically open in prayer, sing a hymn, and then have a sermon (30-45 mins). The pastor would want to work with the student to provide helpful feedback after the message, just like in the PLED preaching class to help them grow more in their calling. For Wednesday evening prayer meeting, the typical flow is have an opening prayer, sing a hymn, hear a devotional from the Word (15-30 mins), and then have a time of prayer. During the devotional a legal pad is passed around for people to write prayer requests, and then after the devotional, read out each prayer request and see if anyone feels led to take that prayer request, and then go around the sanctuary, each person who volunteered to pray for a request praying, and the pastor (or whoever leads the prayer meeting) closes out in prayer and dismisses. The person who helps with Wednesday night prayer meeting would either simply teach the devotional, or lead the entire meeting. Provides another opportunity for PLED students (maybe in conjunction with their Pastor Duties class) to garner more experience.
If there is any questions about any of these, feel free to contact the Pastor, and check out our Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channel. We’re happy to answer any questions, and desire to be a place students not only serve, but be poured into and discipled, as they make a Kingdom impact in Bedford, Lynchburg, and wherever else the Lord will send them!

Who We Are:
TRINICY is a nonprofit with a bold mission: providing a Christian mentor for every Christian student so they may be complete in Him. Through our online platform, we connect students worldwide—from middle school to young professionals—with mentors who guide them in their walk with Christ, helping them grow as scholars, ambassadors, and champions of their faith.
Your Role as an Online Christian Mentor:
Mentor 1-2 students (especially young males): You’ll meet with students online for Bible study, discipleship, and encouragement.
Be a role model: Share your faith, experiences, and guidance to help these students build a strong foundation in Christ.
Commitment: 2 hours per week for 3 months.
Why Join Us?
Spiritual Impact: Be part of something eternal by helping young believers deepen their relationship with Jesus.
Flexible & Remote: Mentor online from the comfort of your dorm, home, or favorite coffee shop!
Unique Challenges: Online mentoring requires creativity, adaptability, and problem solving as you connect with students in new ways.
What We’re Looking For:
A heart for ministry, a commitment to sound doctrine and theology, and a passion for working with young Christians.
Strong communication skills, consistency, and a willingness to walk alongside students in their faith journey.
Male mentors are especially needed to connect with and disciple young male middle and high school students.

Description
Waters Edge Church is excited to offer online CSER opportunities (up to 20 hours) suitable for any schedule. Our Online Campus has experienced significant growth over the past two years, creating a space for meaningful discipleship and support within our online community.
We offer engaging roles on Sundays, where volunteers actively participate in live online services, and weekday support roles, designed for task-oriented volunteers. Our team’s main goal is to support our community as they come to know and love Jesus. In fact, in 2023, 84 members decided to give their life to Jesus through our online campus. This may not have happened without our volunteer team. If you’re eager to make an impact with a team actively growing the Lord’s Kingdom, we’d be thrilled to have you!
