The Connection team is a ministry within a ministry. Our focus is to emphasize unity, service, and the body of Christ – connecting each and every parts of the body together as one.

Rooted in the truth of 1 Corinthians 12, our mission is to foster unity within the body of Christ by building meaningful relationships, greeting all with love, and ensuring every member feels seen, valued, and connected. Just as each part of the body has a purpose, we serve together in harmony—equipping, encouraging, and empowering one another to live out our God-given roles for the glory of Christ and the growth of His Church.

We work to connect the people of Grace Baptist Richmond Hill by collaborating with/supporting various ministries so that we strengthen the feeling of community between each other.

✅ Whether you prefer being in the background or interacting with people, there’s a place for you on our team! You might serve food, help set up events, host conversations, or simply share water with a smile. We love bringing together people with varied talents to support growing ministries and events.

✅ Perfect for adults who like to lend a hand in set-up for ministry events, run errands, or offer behind-the-scenes support

Our team makes planning and execution of a task a breeze. We partner with the ministries of our church to coordinate the background, set-up, and social aspects of their various events year-round (I.e. Catering, set-up, and hosting our Newcomer Luncheon. The tasks assigned to the volunteers might include: grabbing the groceries, set up the tables, or serve the food). Socialization is required. 

Roles Available:

• Coordinators – Plan, delegate and organize steps to complete
• Helpers – Serve food or drink
• Setup Team – Prepare supplies and space before events 
• Connectors – Welcome others through conversation, possibly sharing about other ministries available

*Tasks are assigned to all the helpers according to their availability*

Let’s serve our church together with fun, loving, and welcoming attitude!
