Volunteer Information
Find Your Place to Serve
At First Baptist Starkville, we believe that every believer has a part to play in the mission of the Church. Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 that we are all members of the Body of Christ—each with unique gifts, each essential to the whole. When we serve together, we create a welcoming environment where people can encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and be equipped to live sent.
No matter your experience, skill set, or season of life—there’s a place for you here. Volunteering isn’t just about filling a role; it’s about living out your calling and helping others find theirs. Whether you love working with kids, have a heart for prayer, enjoy technical production, or simply want to greet people with a smile, you can help create the kind of church where lives are changed.
