Opportunities to Serve

Ways to Serve

  • Campus Beautification

    Maintaining Concordia's beautiful campus takes a team. There are many opportunities to serve the church through painting, gardening, cleaning, decorating, general maintenance, and more. Volunteers are needed year-round but especially during the summer months. If you are willing and able to serve, please complete this form to indicate your interest areas.

  • Photography & Videography

    If you enjoy capturing the moment, Concordia is looking for volunteers to expand its collection of high-quality photos and videos for its website, social media presence, and other communication needs. Drone photography and videography is a plus! If you are interested in volunteering, please complete this form.

    All are invited to join the Prayer Team, where members of Concordia gather to pray over those in need of prayer and support. Complete this interest form or, contact the church office at 314.822.7772 to get involved.

  • Card Ministry

    Many of you have received birthday and other cards. Gather in fun and fellowship, assembling cards for Concordia’s ministries. No experience necessary. We meet on the second Thursday of the month at Concordia in the Library. Come as you can. Contact Terri Klaus or the church office for more information.

  • SpiritLifters

    Desire some connection with others? Reach out to others with a phone call, or card and include a scripture or prayer. It takes a moment of your time to bring joy to another (and you too!). Contact the church office to get involved.

    “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.”
    2 Corinthians 1:3-4

  • Prayer Square Ministry

    Are a tangible reminder of Christ’s love and His presence during our life. The cross image on the crochet or knitted square reminds us that He is always with us including the difficult times. The crocheter or knitter make these squares while praying for the person who will receive it. If you would like to be a part of this ministry, you can make these squares at home or in a group. Patterns and supplies are available upon request. For more information, contact the church office.

God hand-crafted you with intention and purpose, forming you with unique spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, talents, and experiences, or as we’ll refer to to it here, your S.H.A.P.E.

One of our goals at Concordia is to help people better understand how God has SHAPEd them. A closely-related second goal is to then help people use this understanding to pursue opportunities to use those gifts and abilities as disciples of Jesus. After completing your S.H.A.P.E.d inventory, please share your results. The information you send to us will help ministry staff contact you when ministry opportunities arise!
