Worship at Countryside
Renew. Recharge. Rejoice.

We celebrate traditional and contemporary styles of worship, inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to experience God’s love, find spiritual renewal, and join in community.

Sunday Small Groups (Sunday School)
We offer special programs for people of all ages, with small groups that provide a curriculum engaging the Bible in fun and enlightening ways while focusing on building relationships with each other and with God. Our hope is for all God’s children to own their faith and value in being a part of a faith community. Summer small groups vary by year, always taking a break to allow families time to worship together and to work with vacation schedules of many of our families and volunteers.
Volunteer
Greet
Why not let your light shine?! Countryside greeters are our friendly ambassadors, sharing smiles and handshakes. Always welcoming to all God’s children – every single Sunday and every day in between. Assist with opening doors, hanging coats, answering questions and more. Help at our Welcome Center by providing: directions around the church, information on current activities and events, assistance with special registrations and more! Contact Brenda to get started.
Usher
Before, during, and after worship services at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:00 am, Countryside ushers help welcome people into a time of worship by offering worship guides, assistive devices, and help find an open seat! They also participate in the collection of our offering of monetary gifts. After services, ushers assist visitors out of our space of worship with friendly wishes for the rest of the week to come. Jamie will help you get connected with an usher leader so you can start right away!
Pray
Prayer is an important part of our discipleship. We have prayer warriors who pray on a regular basis for those who are on the concern list. If you are interested in joining this group in praying for others, please contact Pastor Jeff Potter.
Holy Communion
We would love to have you join our team of rotating volunteers who participate in Holy Communion. Countryside serves Holy Communion the 1st week of every month as well as during special services. Serve at one of several stations to offer bread or the cup and be a special part of these blessings! Contact Jamie for more information.
