The best way to join a church family is to get involved by serving in some capacity. In this way you can quickly get to know people and experience belonging. By giving there is much to receive. There are many opportunities to serve at Brookside but of course if your employment or life circumstances don't give you much capacity to serve in the church, you are still very welcome to be part of our church family. There are some roles you can get involved in soon after making the decision that Brookside is the church for you at this time in your life.
Soon after joining
Why not join either our venue or hosting teams who help ensure things are set up ready for our Sunday meetings and that people are welcomed, cared for and served when they arrive for a meeting in our building? Venue teams are responsible to set up the layout and the hosting teams provide hospitality and care for people through welcoming and serving refreshments. Both teams serve on rotas to ensure you get weeks free to just 'be.' Alongside these teams we have people who serve with PA and sound systems, as well as visuals and online streaming.

You may like to consider joining our worship team as a musician or singer. Worship and creativity are an important part of our heritage and encountering God through the Holy Spirit often happens as we join together in praise, worship and celebration.
We also have an incredible heritage in loving, serving and equipping children and young people. Our church started as a result of working with children and so they remain an important priority. Why not join one of our children's or young people's teams?
We also want to re-establish our prayer ministry teams who are available to pray for those who would like prayer for healing and restoration.
