Support Teams

Unity Palo Alto Community Church relies upon the generous volunteer efforts of so many of us in a variety of support roles.

Sunday Service Teams

These dedicated people provide assistance that is essential to our Sunday services.

Ambassadors Team
The ambassadors round out the Sunday teams by filling in wherever they are needed. (If you would care to help this team, it offers a great opportunity for variety and a chance to try out various volunteer positions.)
Audio Team
The audio team amplifies our ministry, working behind the scenes during the Sunday services, Wednesday services, and at special events when needed. They mic the speakers, operate the sound equipment, and produce tapes using the duplicating equipment. They make it possible to have tapes ready by the time the Sunday service is over. (Interested in helping? No technical experience required.)
Prosperity Team
Prosperity counters are responsible for counting the offerings received during services. They assist in the Church's prosperity by blessing the gifts and the givers.
Usher Team
Our ushers set a warm and loving atmosphere for all the congregants and visitors as they arrive in the Sanctuary. They supply information and support the ministers during the Sunday services.
Welcome Team
The welcome team provides a warm and welcome environment for all who come to church. This is a very special ministry that touches literally hundreds of people. Besides being greeters before services, welcome team members also provide coffee following the services.
Youth and Family Welcome Team
This team welcomes families at the Youth Registration table as they arrive at church. They also assist new families with information about our youth ministry programs.
Youth Ministry Team
Unity has a highly active, spiritually oriented youth program that serves all ages, infants through twelfth graders. Team members can also assist with the Youth Choir.
Team members exude the love of children, the desire to grow spiritually, and the ability to help provide a loving and nurturing environment for the children.
