Yes! Depending on where you serve, that team leader will have resources available to you for training. Some ministries have you shadow another volunteer and other ministries have digital resources for you to explore at your convenience. Whatever the service area, our leaders are here to help you every step of the way!

If you’re not sure where you’d like to serve, we are here to help! Our team would love to have a conversation with you to explore your interests and talents, or we can also set up a time for you to shadow various service areas.

There are opportunities to serve throughout the week, depending on the campus. Our Ormond campus has a Monday night service, but several other ministries meet throughout the week that need volunteers, too, like Salty Students, Women at Salty, Salty Young Adults, etc. On occasion, we also have special events and celebrations that require volunteer assistance.

It is possible to serve at a campus other than the one you regularly attend. It can be a fantastic way to meet individuals outside of the service you attend.

How often you serve is up to you and the needs of the ministry in which you’re serving! Most volunteers serve a few times a month, while others serve once a month. We will work with ou to find a rhythm that fits your availability.

If you’re interested in serving, please fill out our Connection Card at salty.org/connect and mark your interest in serving. Your campus’ pastor or ministry leader will reach out with next steps!

There are several opportunies to serve at Salty, including with our Guest Services teams, SaltyKids teams, Salty Students teams, Worship teams, Prayer teams, and more! Connecting with your campus pastor is a great way to explore opportunities that may be a good fit for you.

Being part of a community is fantastic for growing in your faith and living it out with others through serving is a means of relational connection, personal growth, and spiritual awareness.

Salty People Serve is one of our core values at Salty Church. We've found that volunteering on a team is an incredible way to serve Jesus, grow in faith, and connect with others who serve or attend.

Your first night will likely include meeting new people, casual conversation, a discussion based on a Bible passage or message, or prayer together. There’s no pressure to perform. Just come as you are. Most people leave their first Group thinking: “That was easier and more meaningful than I expected.”

Group Hosts receive simple training and guidance, discussion resources or study material, and ongoing support from the Groups team. You’re never expected to do it alone.

At Salty, we call them Group Hosts. Hosts simply create a space where people can gather and have meaningful conversations. If you’re interested in hosting a Group, we’ll walk with you through the process.

Absolutely. Groups are a great place to bring a friend who might be exploring faith or looking for community.

That’s perfectly normal. Many people join their first Group at Salty with no previous experience. Groups are designed to be welcoming and easy to step into.

Most Groups include 8–12 people, though some may be smaller or larger. The goal is to keep Groups small enough for meaningful conversation and connection.

Childcare availability varies depending on the Group. Some Groups offer childcare, some rotate childcare between families, and others meet in family-friendly environments. You can check the Group description or ask the host for details.

Many Groups run in seasons throughout the year, while others choose to continue meeting year-round. Seasonal groups make it easy for people to jump in and try a Group.

We have both online and in person groups. Choose the group that is right for you!

Yes. You’re welcome to join whichever Group works best for your schedule and location.

That happens sometimes. Every Group has a unique dynamic, and it’s important to find a place where you feel comfortable. If a Group isn’t the right fit, we’ll help you find another one.

No. You’re always welcome to participate at your own pace. Some people like to jump into conversation right away, while others prefer to listen at first. Both are completely okay.

Every Group is a little different, but most gatherings include a time to connect and catch up, conversation around a Bible passage or message, and prayer and encouragement. Groups are usually relaxed and conversational, not formal or lecture-based.

Absolutely. Groups are a great way to get connected and meet people, especially if you’re new to the church. You don’t need to know anyone before joining.

Some are. We offer a variety of Groups, including couples groups, men’s groups, women’s groups, topic or study-based groups, or hybrid groups with people from different backgrounds. You can choose the environment that feels most comfortable for you.

Groups meet in a variety of relaxed environments such as homes, coffee shops, restaurants, parks or the beach, or church spaces. The goal is simply to create a comfortable space for conversation and connection.
