Serve
As members of a local church, we have the wonderful opportunity to experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from giving our lives for the sake of others. At LHBC, there are as many ways to serve as there are people. We love discovering together the unique gifts and opportunities God has provided for our members to serve in this church.

Serve the Church
One of the beautiful things about being part of the Body of Christ is the way in which believers share each other’s burdens and minister to each other’s needs through the power of the Spirit. While all Christians are called to serve, our deacons play a special role in meeting the needs of our members, especially the poor, the weak, the sick, and the lonely. There are numerous opportunities to come alongside them as you find your place of service. These include the following areas of service, each of which is overseen by one of our deacons and an assistant deacon:
Preparing and distributing the Lord’s Supper for worship gatherings.
Ushering members and guests at worship gatherings.
Connecting benevolence funds to individuals with pressing financial needs.
Counting and recording tithes and offerings made to the church.
Greeting members and guests as they arrive to our campus.
Providing audio/visual services during our gatherings.
Ministering to our homebound members.
Serving members with a variety of needs.
Coordinating churchwide picnics and other fellowships.
Providing security services during our gatherings.
