Volunteer

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...

Mark 10:45

Volunteering isn’t just about filling a role or completing a task — it’s about reflecting Christ’s love through humble service. When we give our time, energy, and gifts to help others, we’re living out the same servant-hearted attitude that Jesus showed. At Hawthorne Baptist, we believe every act of service, big or small, makes an eternal impact. Whether greeting at the door, teaching a class, or lending a hand in the community, volunteers help share God’s love in real and powerful ways.

Volunteer Leaders

Blake and Chelsea Hardy Teen Ministry

Our Teen Ministry is growing, and it’s an exciting place to make a difference! Volunteering with our teens means more than helping with activities — it’s about investing in the next generation of believers. Whether you enjoy leading discussions, planning events, or simply being a listening ear, your presence can help teens see what authentic faith looks like.

Sandy Arrowood, Heather Nance & Randi Hinshaw Hospitality Team

Serving on the Hospitality Team is a wonderful way to share God’s love through warmth and welcome. Every smile, handshake, and kind word helps create an environment where people feel seen, valued, and at home. Whether you’re greeting guests, preparing coffee, or helping with events, your service plays a vital role in making church a place of comfort and connection.

Serve in our church

Use your unique gifts to help build the Kingdom.

God has given each of us unique gifts, talents, and passions — not to keep to ourselves, but to use for His glory. When we hold back what He’s placed within us, something valuable is missing from the body of Christ. Volunteering is one of the best ways to put those gifts into action, blessing others while discovering purpose and joy in serving.
