Life at Trinity only happens because of the huge number of people who commit to serving the church and its various activities week by week. Whether that’s on the Alpha Task force, as one of the Kidz church team, as one of the production team who make our weekend celebrations happen, or whether that’s through cooking for one of our mid week activities, serving on a team is one of the most important ways we can be involved in Trinity Cheltenham. Just browse through the various pages of this web site, and you will find opportunities to serve virtually everywhere you go.
But there are a few areas where we are particularly keen to find team members at the moment:
Kidz
Committed team members with a gift for teaching.
Leaders in the following groups on Sunday:
- IGNITE (yrs 5-6)
- FBI (yrs 3-4)
- JAM (aged 3 and a half to reception class)
- Rockets (aged 2 to 3 and a half)
Leaders for small groups, especially boys for yrs 4 and 5
