Volunteer & Serve
Our faith reminds us that we are deeply connected—our liberation is bound together. As the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God, volunteers power the movement of love and justice. There are countless ways to get involved, from ongoing opportunities to one-time projects announced during worship. Explore this page to find how you can serve. For more information, email our team, and the appropriate staff member will get in touch. Together, we’re creating a world rooted in love and justice.
Ushers & Ministry
Did you know that people decide in the first SEVEN minutes whether they’ll return to a church? Our ushers are first-in-line to offer fierce love and gracious welcome to newcomers and members alike.
During worship, virtual ushers welcome and greet people in our digital spaces while in-person ushers greet them at the door. Please sign up below:

Community Norms
We are committed to these norms within Middle Church’s community and spaces we hold together:
Middle Church Community Norms
We listen to understand until the speaker has finished and we do not interrupt
We ask clarifying questions (I’m so glad you share that, do you mind if I ask you a clarifying question)
We do not cross-talk (Thank you for your perspective, here’s my point of view/take on that/I have a different thought VS I think you are wrong or I disagree or That is so stupid)
We speak for ourselves, not our cohort, our group, or anyone else
We use “I statements” as often as possible. (When I am interrupted I feel frustrated and find it difficult to stay engaged VS You interrupt me and it makes me frustrated)
We keep confidentiality in our groups
We do not make triangles, we say what needs to be said to the person who needs to hear it.
We tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Lying is disrespectful and anti-community. We know there might be more than one truth in a system but we try to tell ours and own it.
We step up and step back to allow all voices to be heard.
Zoom participants will adhere to demonstrating Revolutionary Love at all times. If a participant’s behavior is deemed inappropriate by the meeting host, they will be removed. Inappropriate behavior includes but is not limited to harassment, threats and bigotry of any kind. If you experience behavior that feels inappropriate, we invite you to remind the participant of this covenant and also message the host.
