Sanctuary Worship Usher
Our Sanctuary Worship ushers are the first interaction people have as they walk in the door, and we want to greet them warmly! Volunteer to be the smiling face that opens the door for them and helps them find a seat. You can volunteer as often as you want and at whichever service works best for you (9:15am or 10:30am). Contact Rev. Laura Echols-Richter at laura@graceavenue.org with questions and to get on the usher team for Sanctuary Worship.
If you’re interested in being an usher for Modern Worship, please contact Rev. Karyl Patredis at karyl@graceavenue.org.

Media Booth Volunteer
Are you good with technology or looking to build a new skill? Whether you can click a button to change the slides, monitor the cameras for the best angle, or know how to balance a sound board, there are jobs for every skill level. If you’d like to help out with running the media or sound in the Sanctuary, contact our Director of Media, Preston Reid, to volunteer. You can email him at Preston@graceavenue.org. Training will be available, and you can do one or both services.
Patch Weekday Shifts
Help run the general operations of the pumpkin patch! We are open in the afternoons and evenings during the week, so we need folks available to run the check out stand.
Weekday Hours: MONDAY-FRIDAY, 2PM-7PM
When Frisco ISD is closed for the holiday on October 9, 12, and 13, we will have extended hours of 10AM-7PM.
You do not need to be 18 years old to volunteer, but children and youth must be accompanied by a guardian who is over 18.
Contact Jessica Lowe with questions by calling the Church Office at 972-335-2882 x618.
Patch Weekend Shifts
Help run the general operations of the pumpkin patch! The weekends are our busiest, so we need extra help running the check out stand. We also only operate the trebuchet pumpkin launcher on weekends, so we need folks to be stationed there as well.

Patch Field Trips
Field Trips are one of the fun opportunities we’re able to offer through our pumpkin patch, and another way you can volunteer to help out!
Kindergarteners from local schools visit stations at the patch that include crafts, science, math, storytelling, and hayrides. Each of these stations will need a coordinator, and each class will need a guide to keep them rotating on schedule.
