Serve One Ministry
Leader - Debbie Davis
Serve One Sunday is an opportunity for Palmerdale Cross members to give back by volunteering just one Sunday a month. This team helps create a welcoming and meaningful worship experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
Volunteers serve in a variety of roles, including the Connect Desk, Children’s Ministry, Greeters, Ushers, and Parking/Security. The heart of Serve One is to ensure that every guest and member is met with a smile, a kind word, and a warm welcome. For our first-time visitors, we want them to know—we're genuinely glad they chose to worship with us.
At Palmerdale Cross, our Service Ministries are the hands and feet of the church in motion. These teams work behind the scenes and on the front lines to ensure our church functions smoothly and reaches our community with excellence and love. From preparing meals to maintaining our campus to organizing outreach efforts, each team plays a vital role in supporting the mission of our church.
Whether you're gifted in hospitality, technology, organization, or simply have a heart to serve—there's a place for you in Service Ministries. Together, we’re building the Kingdom by faithfully serving God and others.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms”– 1 Peter 4:10
Service Ministries
Connect Center Team
Leader - Robert Matthews
Our Connect Team plays a vital role in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere at Palmerdale Cross. Volunteers serve on the front lines, with a special focus on helping guests and visitors feel comfortable in a new environment.
Volunteers are responsible for welcoming everyone with a smile, answering questions, sharing helpful information, and offering assistance as needed, prioritizing guests, then members. They also help connect visitors with the pastor and church staff to ensure a personal and friendly experience from the moment they arrive.
If you love making people feel seen, valued, and at home, the Greeter Team is a great place to serve!
Outreach Ministry Team
The Outreach Team is dedicated to reaching beyond the walls of Palmerdale Cross to share the love of Jesus with our community. This team plans and coordinates both on-campus and off-campus events designed to connect with those who may not yet know Christ or be involved in a church family.
Through community-focused activities, the goal is to build relationships that open the door to sharing the Gospel. Church members are encouraged to serve at these events and participate in evangelism training to grow in confidence and effectiveness as we carry out the mission of making Christ known.

Join us for our regular gatherings on the second Tuesday of each month—we’d love for you to be part of the fun, faith, and friendship.
