Many opportunities are available to serve within the walls of ZPC.
This team provides support to individuals who have lost a loved one. Team members host memorial services at ZPC by serving as on site greeters, coordinating food and refreshments, and assisting the family and funeral directors as needed. We personally contact the family to offer condolences and prayer and ask what needs the family may have for a snack or meal during the calling and memorial service. We offer support and reassurance of God’s constant love during difficult times. > Anne Kelvin [317.445.7739] Many opportunities exist to serve kids from birth to 4th grade.

Presently, we have ongoing needs in the following areas. Please contact Becky Woods if you are interested in serving. You may also look at more detailed descriptions of these opportunities here. If you play an instrument, this might be the place for you! Please consider sharing a talent, learn more about the role of instrumental music in worship, and in so doing share in the blessing of being part of a team. The ZPC Choir rehearses every Wednesday from 7-8:30 pm beginning in August and ending in May and performs most Sundays at the 9 am service. The choir also performs at special events throughout the year. A passion for singing is desirable, and the ability to read music is helpful, but not a necessity. We have ongoing needs for vocalists who desire to sing as part of small vocal ensembles for worship. The Visual Arts Team helps our worship spaces reflect God's creativity. Volunteers can bring artistic skills (painting, drawing, sewing), building skills (construction, power tools), craft skills (cutting, stapling, hot glue guns, sponging, painting), or just a desire to help and learn. The projection technician operates MAC-based ProPresenter (PP) software, advancing the projected PP slides for worship services and other special events. The sound technician controls the Sanctuary sound levels during worship services and other special events. No previous experience is required, but familiarity with sound mixing and MAC ProPresenter is helpful. Currently we are in the process of developing a Drama Team that can meet regularly in effort to develop dramatic skills, and on occasion, prepare skits for use in our worship services and other special events. Usher Teams serve and connect with people attending our worship services. Currently we are in the process of developing a team that can meet weekly to prepare the Sanctuary for our worship services and other special events. > Becky Woods [317.873.8137x1010] The Youth and Young Adult Team exists to create connections with our middle school, high schooler and college age youth. > Julie Judd [317.281.8684] ZPC serves homeless children and their caregivers by being part of the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), a local network of faith-based congregations that provides overnight shelter for homeless families.
