Media Production Ministry

The Upper Room Media Production Team is an exciting and rewarding area of ministry at our church. The production team is a vital area where you may feel called to serve and use your talents to help further spread the word of God not only to those who attend in-person services but also to those who may be watching us online.

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.” God created each and every one of us with a unique purpose and He equipped each of us with special personalities and skills so that we might be able to make a greater impact for His kingdom.

This area of ministry should be approached with an attitude of love, joy, and faithfulness as we work together to create a distraction-free experience that enhances encounters with God during worship services and our online presence.

Opportunities (Worship Service and Special Events)

• Videocast Producer
• Media Tech
• Sound Engineer
• Service Producer
• Lighting Tech
• Photographer

For additional information about joining the production team, please contact the church office or email media@burlingtonbaptist.org

Saving Grace Food Pantry

The pantry began serving the community in March of 2000. It opened as a ministry to the community as the need was seen in the office on a daily basis. By October of 2000, most Bible Study classes at Burlington were responsible for stocking a certain item in the pantry, making the project church-wide.

The church is still “hands-on” in this process as it is volunteer-driven, and relies heavily on the time and efforts donated by committed individuals. The church is collecting personal care items also so that each family leaves with a bag of these items in addition to the food.

Food Pantry Information:

• Food is brought to the church on the second Monday of each month, and volunteers “pack and pray”, getting the food ready for distribution the following afternoon. 
• Food distribution is on the second Tuesday of the month, from 3-5 pm .
• Recipients need to be a resident of Boone County; with a picture ID and a current utility bill to confirm their address.
• Diapers and feminine products are available upon request.

Food Pantry Needs:

• Personal care items such as shampoo, bar soap, toilet paper, etc.
• Monetary donations in honor or the memory of a loved one are accepted.
