What Ministries and Groups Does Elevation Church Offer?
Updated
Elevation Church offers ministries for every age and life stage, from small groups and outreach to children's, youth, young adult, college, and worship ministries, plus volunteer and leadership pathways. The right fit depends on whether you want community (eGroups), family support (children's and youth), or a way to serve (volunteer or lead). All of these are listed on the church's website under "A place for you and your family" and "How to get involved."
Small Groups and Outreach
eGroup Ministry
eGroups are the church's small-group structure for connecting people and activating faith. The site describes the ministry's purpose as "Connecting people. Activating faith." If you want regular community rather than only watching a service, this is the entry point to look at first.
Outreach Ministry
Outreach is described as "Making an impact – locally and globally." Choose this if you want to serve beyond the church walls rather than join a discussion group.
Ministries for Children, Youth, and Young Adults
| Ministry | Who it serves | Stated purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Children's Ministry | Kids, in partnership with parents | "Partnering with parents to develop kids' faith" |
| Youth Ministry | Youth | "Developing youth who influence culture" |
| Young Adult Ministry | Young adults | "Building community. Deepening faith" |
| Elevation College | College students | "Where calling meets college" |
The children's ministry is explicitly framed as a partnership with parents, so families should expect to be involved rather than simply drop off kids. The youth and young adult ministries are aimed at building community and influence, not just teaching.
Worship Ministry
The Worship Ministry is described as "Inspiring your faith and creating an atmosphere of worship to God." This is the ministry to explore if you want to participate in the worship side of services rather than only attend them.
How to Get Involved: Volunteer, Lead, or Explore Opportunities
The site lists three distinct paths:
- Volunteer — "Participate in the mission to advance the gospel by serving on a volunteer team." Best if you want a defined serving role.
- Lead — "Lead an eGroup, host a Watch Party or become a student leader." Best if you want to take responsibility for a group or gathering.
- Opportunities — "Explore opportunities to use your gifts in a ministry setting." Best if you are unsure where you fit and want to survey options first.
Choosing the Right Entry Point
- Want community first? Start with eGroups.
- Have kids or teens? Look at the Children's or Youth Ministry, keeping the parent-partnership framing in mind.
- In college or a young adult? Compare Elevation College with the Young Adult Ministry based on your stage.
- Want to serve? Choose Volunteer for a team role, Lead if you want to run a group or Watch Party, or Opportunities if you are still exploring.
Each ministry page has a "Learn more" link on the website, so you can confirm current meeting details and next steps there before committing.
