Volunteer With Grace

Ministries, programs and projects at Grace are overseen by 10 committees of Session: These committees are served by members and adherents of the congregation who have interest in the ministry of a particular committee and are able to meet typically once per month, by Zoom or in-person. There is a regular rotation of membership and there are currently opportunities for service in a number of these committees.

• Engagement & Service
• Financial Management
• Governance
• Human Resources
• Land & Facilities
• Leadership Development
• Minister Resource & Presbytery Relations
• Pastoral Care & Connection
• Spiritual Growth
• Stewardship

Please contact the Coordinator of Volunteers, Cindy Stephenson, at volunteers@gracecalgary.org to learn more about the work of these committees or the many other opportunities to serve at Grace. ​

Grace has had an English Language Learner (ELL) program operating for more than 10 years – it has touched the lives of literally hundreds of individuals who want to practice their conversational English in a safe, supportive environment.

• The program currently runs September to June, with 5 terms of 5 to 6 classes.
• There are breaks for the summer and between the terms.
• The program has been coordinated by an individual (now retired) through that time; it is running very smoothly, with dedicated and capable class teachers in place.
• The Coordinator role is about supporting these volunteer class leaders with the resources they need, trouble-shooting and visioning how to make this program even better. This is a truly appreciated way to help make a difference in the lives of many people in the community. 

Please email Cindy Stephenson, Coordinator of Volunteers, to learn more at cindys@gracecalgary.org.

Grace has a regular schedule of volunteers to welcome worshippers attending in-person services. Welcomers are asked to arrive by 10 am latest and then to remain near the Sanctuary doors to be able to assist any late comers. We hope to have enough volunteers that the commitment would average approximately one Sunday per month (with flexibility). Orientation/training will be provided. (At this time, offering plates are not being passed between the pews).

Volunteers are regularly needed to help in the Church Office. In this role, you would assist with mail-outs to the congregation, special projects, photocopying/scanning documents, simple typing in Microsoft Word, and answering phone calls.  Help for a few hours every week or on a one-time basis is very much appreciated.
