If you are comfortable with digital media, you can serve by capturing the sermon feed from our Tysons location, monitoring the broadcast feed, and operating the video switcher to ensure the correct media is always being displayed. Some camera switching knowledge would be beneficial but not required. Training on the equipment is required for this role.

Greeters at the door are responsible for providing a warm welcome to all who pass through our doors. Greeters hold open the doors and greet people as they come in. This role serves for 20-30 minutes before the service begins and a little bit after the service is underway. If you don’t mind coming a little early before the church service, this is an easy role to jump into!
People who serve at the Get Connected area know a lot about MBC. Having a solid knowledge about church groups and other MBC ministries is helpful, as well as the ability to point people to information on our website. It’s possible this role could involve praying with someone, handling a benevolence request, or even sharing the gospel! This role serves after the service for as long as needed, typically about 20 minutes.
Our coffee is brewed in our kitchen every Sunday morning. The Coffee Ministry Team not only brews the coffee but also ensures the serving area is clean, well-stocked and ready for use. Team Members will empty out the coffee urns, wash and then dry them for the next Sunday. At the 9:00 hour, Team Members will be tied up a while and possibly miss part of the service, so it’s a great opportunity for those who are willing to serve at 9, but worship at 11. Those who serve later in the morning will be responsible for the clean up after church at 12:30 so it’s a great role for someone who attends at 11. Families can do this together. If you love coffee as much as we do – this role is for you!
Members of the FRT serve to ensure our church family and visitors have a safe worship and fellowship experience by welcoming congregants to church services and activities and by patrolling and observing entry/exit, worship, staff, classroom, and exterior areas. Members of the FRT maintain radio contact with on-site law enforcement and address safety or security concerns by working closely with staff, other volunteer teams, and additional emergency responders, if necessary, to manage emergencies. This is an unarmed position that requires law enforcement, security, or military experience and approval from FRT leadership at our Tyson’s location. We have a rotation of FRT members and are always looking to add more!
Décor, hospitality, food, registration check-in…whenever we have events, whether it is a class after church or offsite, we can always use extra help setting up! If you have the desire and the time to assist with an occasional event, we’d love to know! These needs come and go, so it’s great for someone who has limited time and cannot commit to a weekly role!
Do you have a skill that doesn’t match what we have already listed? Maybe it is something related to your work, or perhaps it is a hobby – either way, you see a way to use it to build up the church or serve the congregation. Please let us know! We want to know what other ways you want to serve!

From time to time, God brings refugees to Loudoun who are in critical need. There are many different ways to serve and bless them including – delivering furniture, serving as an English language conversation partner, meeting for tea/coffee for developing a friendship, providing transportation (driving them to their appointments), and helping them navigate through American culture (registering their children for school; completing medical forms; completing forms at the DMV).
In partnership with Loudoun County Adult Detention Center and Tree of Life ministry, we are piloting a program in which we can go into the prison to do Bible studies with incarcerated people.

Our church serves residents of Loudoun County who are in need by providing gently used furniture. You can serve by donating gently used sofas, tables and chairs, dressers, nightstands, end tables and lamps. We are a little strict on the condition of the furniture, so please send Matt pictures of your items to see if it is something currently needed and meets our criteria. We also purchase new household items (kitchen and bath items) essential to families getting off to a good start in their new apartment. You can serve by periodically shopping at Walmart from a specific list we provide, and then by taking the items to our storage unit in Leesburg. Also, you can serve by helping pick up donated items or moving items out of storage and into a client’s home. A very flexible schedule is usually required, as the needs arise quickly without much notice. People with flexible work hours during the week are sorely needed, as well as anyone who can help carry an end table, a lamp, a kitchen chair or bags of newly purchased items. You don’t have to be a professional furniture mover to help.
