  • C.A.R.T. (Cardiac Arrest Response Team) Member: Sit in designated seating during worship and be prepared to respond during a heart related medical emergency. Training is required to join this team; no experience is necessary. The Cardiac Arrest Reponse Team is extremely important and vital to the comfort and safety of our worshipping congregation.
  • Communion Server: Help serve the celebration of Holy Communion to our congregation. Holy Communion is the highest sacrament of the United Methodist Church, so it is a special and privileged responsibility to serve on this ministry team. You must be an adult who is committed to serving Christ or a teen who has completed Confirmation Class to fill this position.
  • Connection Point Team: Connection Point Consultants have the "20,000-foot view" of all ministries and ministry paths into the church. Consultants utilize available communication tools to stay abreast of connection opportunities within our many ministry areas to help inform congregants and connect them into the life of our church.
  • Graphics Operator: Operate the video and graphics for our services. Successful individuals will have an ability to stay focused during the entire service, be attentive to detail and have the ability to be flexible in a quick-paced, sometimes stressful enviornment. Requirements include: training on our graphics software (Pro Presenter), familiarity with Mac computers and the ability to arrive 1 hour prior to service start. This role operates on an every other week rotation and we ask for a 6 month commitment.  An interview with our Director of Technical Production is required.
  • Music Team: Bring vibrant and meaningful worship music to Resurrection Downtown!  Worshipping through music is an essential part of our Sunday evening service.  We are seeking an eclectic team of instrumentalists and vocalists to bring challenging, culturally relevant songs to each gathering.  A volunteer team of skilled and talented musicians is needed and will work closely with the Director of Musical Arts/Worship Leader to prepare musical offerings.  Auditions are required.  We'll contact you to schedule your audition. 
  • Nursery Team: Serve the youngest residents of Downtown KC! Nursery team members will have a passion and focus for the youngest members (3 years and under) of our congregation. Helpers in this area are asked to complete Safe and Sacred training which is offered frequently at various churches and locations of Church of the Resurrection.

  • Parking/Security Team: Members of this team assist with parking before and after worship. Parking attendants will help ensure that our guests' first impression of Resurrection Downtown is that we're a congregation filled with hospitality.
  • Set-Up/Tear-Down Team: This important position requires assisting 1.5 hours before each service and approximately one half hour after. The team member must be able to lift and haul equipment, boxes, nursery panels, etc. This position involves basically overseeing that things are where they need to be and returned when the service is over.

The Usher Team also assists with any situation requiring immediate response during worship such as medical emergencies, severe weather conditions, etc.
