Participate
At Ormewood, one of our four core values is to participate. To be a community we give and receive of ourselves and our time and each other. But there's not one way to participate at Ormewood -- below are ways where you can connect, serve, and enrich our community.
Making Sundays Happen
Each Sunday morning there are several moving parts to make the welcoming atmosphere and worship service happen. Want to help? Scroll down to sign up for Sunday School, Snacks, or assisting in worship.
Here at Ormewood Church one way our children can explore God is through Sunday School, and we need helpers to guide our kids through this time of exploration and learning. All adult participants in our Children's Ministry are required to undergo a background check. These are conducted online by a staff member. Contact children@ormewoodchurch.org to start the process.
Shared Community Fund
Our church is committed to giving away 10% of what is given to us in an effort to love our community well and set an example of the generosity and trust we hope to see in our congregation. Members and regular attenders of Ormewood Church can apply to spend or send this money by using the application below.
Ormewood Church WhatsApp "Community"
In addition to our outward facing communications, we host a Community in WhatsApp for Ormewood Church. Within that community, you can find groups for age, stage, and interests, such as parenting, social outings, and inspiration. WhatsApp offers a space for congregants to directly communicate about things that are important to them (and also send GIFs).
Ormewood Club
Bringing back a neighborhood tradition
Around the early 1900s, as Ormewood Park was shifting from scattered homes and farms into a unified city neighborhood, neighbors organized a civic club for community connection.* Ormewood Church brought that same civic spirit back with Ormewood Club - a series of free workshops and gatherings that give neighbors a place to connect, learn, and grow. The trolley's long gone, but the impulse to gather and connect is alive and well. We’re happy to do our part to revive this connection to the original neighborhood spirit. (No promises on bringing our trolley back, though.)
