Have you ever wanted to make a difference, to use your gifts and talents to help others, but are not sure where or how? We have a place for you! There are many opportunities to serve God and serve one another using your talents. Some you can even do remotely (for those of you who do not live on LBI year-round). To find out more, contact the team coordinator.
CONGREGATIONAL CARE TEAM
The Congregational Care Team ministers to the members of our congregation, especially those who are homebound or are going through a particular challenge.
The CCT team may visit members in their homes or connect through phone calls, texts, emails, cards or letters. The team will deliver meals when necessary, offer communion, and encourage care receivers with prayer.
Instruction and training will be provided for all team members.
Team Coordinator: Terry Zuschnitt
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT TEAM
The Facilities Team works collaboratively to care for our three church-owned buildings: the Kynett Church, the Terrace Church, and the parsonage.
The team operates on an as-needed basis and initiates routine scheduled maintenance, minor repairs, and advises the Board of any major repairs that are needed. The team may also schedule semi-annual “spruce-up” days for the buildings.
If you can use a hammer, sweep a broom, or swing a paint brush, this is your team!
Team Coordinator: Don Lachenaur
HOSPITALITY TEAM
The Hospitality Team provides a welcoming guest experience for worship attendees.
The team sets up and prepares beverages and light snacks for weekly coffee fellowship time after worship, and assists with refreshments at other special events.

MUSIC MINISTRY
From the congregation to the choir, the worship team to the musicians, the backbone of any worship service is the music. Music sets the mood and moves the spirit.
Whether you’re an experienced singer or a novice, you have a place in our music ministry! And if you play and instrument, we will find a home for you as well, in either traditional or contemporary worship styles.
The hills may be alive with the sound of music, but so is our church!
Team Coordinator: Nick Kaminski nicholas@kaminskimusic.com
OUTREACH AND MISSIONS TEAM
Identifying opportunities to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world, our Missions and Outreach Team will plan and coordinate schedules for our monthly missions outreach. They will track and report our church’s giving to the congregation.
The Team will also look for opportunities to participate in community events and festivals, inviting people to be a part of our wonderful church community.
Team Coordinator: D’na Schwerzel
SMALL GROUP DISCIPLESHIP
While attending worship an important part of our faith journey because it provides fellowship with other believers and a weekly energizing word from God, it doesn’t allow for our faith to deepen.
That’s where small group studies come in. Whether a book club or a Bible study, getting together with a group of friends allows us to have discussion and to have questions answered. This is what discipleship is all about!
We are looking for folks to be part of a small group and for those who would like to lead a small group. No pre-qualifications necessary!
Team Coordinator: Pastor Scott
FELLOWSHIP/SOCIAL ACTIVITES
Who likes to have fun? If that’s you, then our Fellowship Team is just the place for you!
The Team looks for creative and fun get-togethers for our church family throughout the year, such as a Super Bowl party, Chili Cook-Off, Mini Golf, Pizza Party, Movie Night, and more! It’s only limited by your imagination!

TECHNICAL ARTS
Are you a techie, or would you like to be one?
Our Tech Team keeps the church up and running behind the scenes. Whether your passion is computer maintenance, website design, running audio/video during worship, or assisting with the church database software, there’s a spot for you on the team!
Team Coordinator: Marvin Stewart
WORSHIP TEAM
You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
Our Worship Team includes the smiling faces of our greeters and ushers, who welcome church family and guests to worship each week, as well as folks who enjoy participating in worship by reading scripture or helping to serve communion.
Be a part of the Team and serve wherever you feel comfortable!
Team Coordinator: Bob Baur
