Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly
loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave
himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there
must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of
greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be
obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather
thanksgiving.” Ephesians 5:1-4
Greetings and blessings to you in Jesus
Christ name. It is a joy to learn that you have prayerfully considered signing
up as a worker/volunteer in the vineyard of the Lord through the RCCG Christ
Liberty House. As you labour faithfully in the vineyard of our Lord Jesus
Christ, I pray that you will reap the rewards of service to Him – Amen.
Service to God and not a denomination.
In RCCG Christ Liberty House, emphasis for
service is on an individual's relationship with God, Christ His Word and the
Holy Spirit. It is a service to God rather than to a church or denomination. As
a result of this, you do not necessarily have to be a card carrying member of
The Redeemed Christian Church of God before you can serve God through the RCCG
Christ Liberty House.
To decide how many departments one can join
at the same time, it will be necessary to be sure that the functional time of
duties of the units will not overlap. For example, it will be difficult to be
an Usher and/or a Chorister and also be in Engineering and/or Sanitation Unit
at the same time. All these units work simultaneously during the service and
some of them have their varying mode of dress (uniforms). You are encouraged
not to belong to more than two departments.
The RCCG Christ Liberty House recognises
three categories of people whose skills and talents could be engaged by the RCCG
Christ Liberty House:
Workers - People who are born again and are committed to live by the teachings of the bible. They have gone through the
believers', baptismal and workers in training classes within a parish of The
Redeemed Christian Church of God. They can be considered for ministerial roles
in the RCCG Christ Liberty House. They are the people who can serve at the
altar. They will lead worship, assist in administering Holy Communion and teach
the Word of God and lead at public prayer meetings among others. Please see the
requirements for being a worker in the RCCG Christ Liberty House.
Volunteers - “Teacher,” said John, “we saw
someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was
not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus
said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say
anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us.
Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup
of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose
their reward. Luke 9:38-41
Volunteers are people who have chosen to
serve God and the community through the RCCG Christ Liberty House. The church
will prayerfully engage them and equip them to serve effectively. A volunteer
who embraces the gospel and live by the Word of God will progress to being a
worker if such an individual wishes to become one. There cannot be any
impediment placed on the path of an individual who is truly committed to serve
God wholeheartedly. The Lord Jesus Christ declared "The harvest is
plentiful, but the workers are few..." (Luke 10:2) We challenge every church volunteer to rise
and become a worker.
Employees - These are individual with specialized skills required by the
church but which are not available as a charitable service. Employees are paid
to carry out tasks in the church.
Upon receipt of your application, we will
prayerfully consider your interests. The church reserves the right to suggest
other areas where you are likely going to be better useful to the goals of the
church in the wider community.

Volunteers:

you served in a department previously and would like to change to a different
department please enter in the new department information (in the space
