Serving Opportunities
Have you ever had the feeling that you were meant to live for so much more? God's desire for us is to live way beyond ourselves for the sake of others. God chooses to use our hands and feet to do His Kingdom work. We are called to this new level of living that acknowledges Christ's example, honors our unique gifts, and fuels our passion to work for His sake. This page is a great resource to find ways to live beyond yourself in the context of Binnerri English Ministry. We pray that as you read through the service opportunities on this page, God would stir in your heart and lead you to a place where you can give back to the One that has given us so much. If you have any questions on any of these opportunities or need help in finding a place to serve, please email us at volunteer@binnerriem.org.
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others." - 1 Peter 4:10

Small Groups
Sunday Small Group Leaders
Every youth needs a mentor. If you have a heart to love, influence and impact youth for God's Kingdom, you can be a small group leader. We want to breakdown the large group on Sundays into an intimate and welcoming environment for students to be known.
Saturday Volunteers
On Saturday nights, many churched and unchurched students visit Binnerri Youth Group for MERGE. Therefore, we are in need of people who can provide a warm environment to welcome and minister to these students.
