Urgent Transportation Ministry
Transportation Ministry. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to use their personal vehicle to transport others as needed. The majority of the need has been to help bring seniors to church and back on Sunday mornings. Occasionally, there are other needs such as bringing people to special evening church services (such as around Thanksgiving or Christmas) or to help get someone to an appointment. There is a running calendar showing the ongoing needs and which requirements are still open for volunteers. Sign up at the link below. For specific questions, please check with APC’s transportation coordinator, Bill Ward at [email protected] or phone: 571-331-8529.
Urgent Indoor Service Help
Volunteers needed for worship! We need and value your help. Volunteers will arrive by 9:15am to help. Opportunities each Sunday include:
Greeters: 2 volunteers needed, Contact Matt Coombs at [email protected]
Ushers: 5 volunteers needed, Contact Marc Smith at [email protected]
Urgent Audio
The audio ministry requires a heart for ministry, a technical mind, and an ear for music. Volunteers run sound once a month on Sundays and possibly serve for special services.

African Refugee Outreach
APC has welcomed more than two dozen refugees into our congregation. Most are from Africa — men and women fleeing political and religious persecution. It is a tremendous mutual blessing to worship together, and to serve these new Americans as they learn English, seek employment and endeavor to reunite with family members who are often left behind.
Evangelism
APC seeks to fulfill the Great Commission by providing our members with evangelistic training and the necessary resources to effectively present the gospel. For more information on how you can become involved in various evangelistic events and opportunities throughout the year, contact the church office.

Communion Setup Volunteers
Are you interested in preparing the elements for APC’s monthly celebration of the Lord’s Table? All the elements are on hand, and your role would be to prepare them for service.
Social Committee
Community requires connection, and the Social Committee’s role is to foster that connection by dreaming up and planning fun events for the whole church. The committee typically meets 4-6 times per year to enjoy a great meal and plan events big and small.
Intercessory Prayer Team
APC has a small group of men and women who are committed to praying regularly for our church: our pastors, those in leadership positions, our various ministries and outreach efforts, members of our congregation, and our building. Contact Pastor Tom if you would like to learn more or serve on this important team.
Bi-Monthly Prayer Meetings
A corporate prayer time takes place the second Saturday (9-10am) and the fourth Sunday (5-6pm) of each month.
Sunday Morning Prayer
Folks gather every Sunday morning at 8:00am in the Chapel at Russell Road for a time of prayer prior to the worship service.
Prayer on Wednesday evenings from 8pm-9pm via Zoom.
You are invited to join other APC members in prayer each Wednesday evening. See the APC weekly email for the Zoom link or contact the church office for details.
Prayer Meetings every 3rd Saturday at 11am via Zoom.
The Prayer Committee invites you to join them via Zoom every 3rd Saturday from 11am-12pm to pray for the future of APC as we seek the Lord’s vision. See the APC weekly email for the Zoom link or contact the church office for details.
Sunday Pre-Service Prayer Meeting

Seniors Ministry
APC is a welcoming community of believers to those who face the physical challenges of aging. On Sunday mornings, our Seniors Ministry offers transportation for individuals as well as those at the Lincolnian Assisted Living residences. The church’s Sunday morning worship service begins at 8:45 AM and concludes a little after 10 AM. Although wearing masks is now optional, there is a large section of pews that are designated as a “mask only” area. Following the service, there are light refreshments served in the Fellowship Hall found on the basement level (stair access only). We also provide a Bible study on Saturdays to the residents at the Lincolnian, and have sponsored Christmas gifts and special programs for the residents. Volunteers to assist in this ministry are always welcome.
Explorers and Children’s Church Volunteers
Investing in the future is what volunteering in Children’s Ministry is about. Children’s Church is held for 45 minutes during worship. Explorer classes are held from 5-7pm on Sundays, including game time, dinner, and a lesson.
Contact: Erin Furgerson, Director of Children’s Ministries
PROTAS/Youth Volunteers
Consider joining APC’s kingdom-building youth ministry by coming alongside teenagers as a friend and discipler. Cross-generational ministry is hard work, but what teens often remember more is the person who earned their trust. Contact: Adam LeRoy, Director of Youth Ministries
Nursery Volunteers
The nursery is an important ministry to our littlest ones. Volunteers typically help out one worship service per quarter. Contact: Erin Furgerson, Director of Children’s Ministries, or the APC office.
Manna Ministry
This ministry provides meals to those with short-term needs, such as a death in family, injury or illness, surgery, new baby, etc. Contact the church office to volunteer or to receive assistance.
Hospitality—”Bringing It To the Table!”
APC’s Hospitality volunteers transform every fellowship event into a truly special occasion, assisting with everything from decorations to food. They also help with Sunday morning coffee during the fellowship time.
Ushers
As an usher, you help the Deacons collect tithes and offerings and give a big smile to the folks in the pews as you pass the collection bags.
Coffee Ministry
The Coffee Ministry serves light refreshments each Sunday during fellowship time. We need new team members to serve on teams of four. Likely, you will only be scheduled one Sunday per quarter.
Greeters
Greeters assure that members, regular attendees, and every person who visits APC are warmly welcomed at each service. They also assure that visitors receive information about the church and ministry opportunities. Greeters are scheduled in teams of 4-5 people for 2 weeks at a time, typically 2-3 times a year.

Fellowship Hall Reset
We are in need of volunteers who are willing to reset the Fellowship Hall after Sunday School, in preparation for Sunday night ministries. This typically takes 10-15 minutes each Sunday, and involves putting all chairs and tables back into the storage room. It’s quick, it’s easy, and could use your leadership.
Urgent Audio
The audio ministry requires a heart for ministry, a technical mind, and an ear for music. Volunteers run sound once a month on Sundays and possibly serve for special services.
Photography
Photographs of APC events are desired for the newsletter, Facebook, videos, etc. and require a photographer with an artistic sense and their own equipment.
Music
We are a church that highly values music! There are many ways to get involved, including adult and youth choirs, praise team, and special services.
Our desire is to provide opportunities for adults to connect and grow through authentic relationships, teaching opportunities, Bible studies, and fellowship.
PROTAS is a dynamic teen-led, adult-mentored, relationship-based youth community with the goal of encouraging teens to grow as strong disciples of Christ.
We are privileged to teach children about Jesus’ great love for them as they participate in worship, interact with servant-hearted leaders, and enjoy fun activities.
We believe God has created us as relational beings designed for living in authentic community. We seek to grow in our love for the Lord and each other through regular times of study and fellowship.
As the gospel transforms us, we respond by living missional lives. We do this by serving our church, our city, and our world through the use of our gifts and talents.
Use your gifts to serve on our music ministry teams. At APC, we have members from a wide range of backgrounds, so we offer a blended style of worship that incorporates contemporary worship songs, traditional hymns and music from other traditions.
Whether you are interested in taking your next step at APC or want to see what we have to offer you and your family, we’re here to help. Get in touch with us by filling out the form below.
