Our Ministries + Teams
Imago Dei values community. We value the community within the church as well as the neighborhoods and communities around us. One of the ways we build community here is by working as a Team of Teams. There is only one superstar in this church, and His name is Jesus. The rest of us are just trying to follow His lead, together. We believe that we can best live out the image of God by serving Him as a team of teams. Jesus did this with the 12, Paul with Timothy, Titus, and others; in fact, it’s challenging to find an example of individualistic ministry in the Bible. And typically, where you can, the story doesn’t end well. Currently, our church has five main Ministry areas. Each of these areas is guided by a Director or Lead, and each Ministry is made up of several smaller teams that focus on a specific area of need within our body. Below are some short descriptions.

Corporate Worship Ministry
Corporate Worship is the umbrella term we use for everything that takes place on Sundays to have our worship service in person. From the Greeter at the door to the Musicians on the stage and the technicians behind the scene, there are many hands needed to serve the church body on a Sunday. Each person is important and the gifts God has given them are vital within our church family. The teams in this ministry are:
Hospitality Team

R.E.M. (small group) Ministry
R.E.M. is the name given to our Small Group Ministry. At Imago Dei it is very important to cultivate a vibrant community that delights in the gospel. One of the ways we do this is through R.E.M. Groups! Each group meets 3X per month to encourage each other to live out their God-given identity in the everyday stuff of life. The teams within R.E.M. are:
REM Leads
REM Coaches

Biblical Care Ministry (IDBC)
God has designed us to be in need of community. We aren't supposed walk alone. Oftentimes, we find that we need specific support like meals or childcare during a major life event, to prayer or counseling for everything from the everyday to the seemingly insurmountable. The Imago Dei Biblical Care Ministry exists to support and care for those in our church body and community in tangible ways that emphasize the Gospel through practical service. The teams in this ministry are:
Biblical Counseling
Corporate Prayer
Life Event Care

Building Stewardship Ministry
Just like owning a home, when a church owns a building much maintenance and care is required. From handyman projects to cutting the grass to sprucing up the flowers and interior spaces, the Building Stewardship teams care for our building and grounds so we can use those resources to care for our neighbors. Beyond this, the building stewardship team is undertaking many restorative projects on site. Through their efforts in restoring the church building, we catch a glimpse of God’s restorative work in our lives and our communities. The teams in this ministry are:
Design Team
Facility Care Team
Garden Team

(COMING SOON) Reach-Out Ministry
It has long been our desire to walk out the mission God has given us to share the good news of Jesus & make disciples. We want to live this out in tangible and practical ways within the community around us. This ministry will be focused on doing just that.
Behind-the-Scenes
In addition to the above ministries, we also have some behind-the-scenes teams working in many areas of the church.
Elders
The ministry of Elders in the local church is a role that is clearly laid out in the Bible. ID Elders help to shepherd and disciple each person in our congregation, offering prayer & counseling as well as oversight of theological matters. They serve our church body humbly day in and day out.
Communications
From bulletins to newsletters, graphic design to connection cards, record keeping to the very website you're reading right now, the Communications Team makes sure everyone is up-to-date and engaged in the life of ID!
Finance Team
We have a generous God! We also have a generous church body! Thankfully, our financial team is dedicated to ensuring good stewardship of the gifts God has given us. They work tirelessly to balance budgets, keep track of accounts and taxes and make sure that we can continue the important work God has given us.
Calendar Team
The Calendar Team at Imago Dei is exactly what it sounds like...the team that lays out the yearly ID Calendar! This includes what happens on Sundays and throughout the week. The details are important to this team and they're working hard to keep things at ID flowing smoothly.
