Time and Service

Being a faithful steward of God is about more than just going to church and learning about God. We are also called to serve. Volunteering and being of service is a rewarding experience.  We rely on volunteers and church members to support our worship service, music program, community outreach activities, Vacation Bible School and more.

What are your gifts?  Bardsdale has many needs for your gifts. Can you:

  • Help with Food Share?
  • Use your technology skills to record our Sunday worship services?
  • Provide a children’s sermon during worship?
  • Teach Sunday School?
  • Engage our Hispanic community?
  • Engage our LGBTQ community?
  • Help with Vacation Bible School?
  • Participate in a weekly Bible Study?
  • Join our choir?
  • Join our bell ringers?
  • Offer your expertise to one of our committees?

Bardsdale UMC additionally serves others by opening our doors to outside ministries and by serving and providing for our local community and people around the world.
