Volunteer Opportunities
Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer
We are evolving how we manage our financial stewardship! To ensure our leadership roles are sustainable and life-giving, we have transitioned from a single Treasurer position to a collaborative two-role structure. By splitting the work, we have made the roles more focused, reduced the individual time commitment, and built in automatic vacation coverage and support.
Two Roles, Two Ways to Serve
Whether you enjoy behind-the-scenes precision or high-level leadership, there is a place for your skills:
Assistant Treasurer (The Specialist): Focuses on "back-end" support such as financial analysis and reporting. Ideal for someone who loves detail and averages 15-20 hours per month.
Treasurer (The Leader): Acts as the "front-facing" financial voice on the Board. This role focuses on strategic leadership and reporting to the congregation.
Why Join the Finance Team?
Manageable Commitment: Splitting the roles significantly reduces the workload for each person.
Never Walk Alone: Both roles are part of the Finance Committee, offering a space for mentorship and collaboration.
Built-in Redundancy: You will have a partner who understands the work, ensuring peace of mind during vacations.
Growth Opportunity: The Assistant role is a perfect "on-ramp" to learn the ropes of church finance with the support of the Treasurer.

Building & Maintenance Committee
We would like (2) members of the congregation to join us.
Time Commitment: 4-8 hours a month
The Building and Maintenance Contributors support the church’s mission by ensuring that facilities are safe, functional, welcoming, and well cared for. Through hands-on service, preventative maintenance, repairs, and stewardship of church property, this role helps create an environment where worship, fellowship, and ministry can flourish. A consistent and coordinated approach to maintenance and repair with a vision for long term sustainability is needed.
Please contact Vicki Rinke for more information at vickirinke@telus.net
Trustee
We are seeking dedicated volunteers to serve as Trustees for our church building. As outlined in the UCC Board of Trustees Handbook, Trustees play an essential role in caring for and overseeing our property. This includes treating the building with the same time and care as your own, ensuring appropriate insurance coverage, staying informed about property needs, and helping supervise repairs and maintenance. Trustees also meet together to make thoughtful decisions about the building’s present care and future direction.
If you love our building and would like to help steward this important part of our church community, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Lea at board.chair@hillhurstunited.com.
Support Our Refugee Ministry
Can you help us make a tangible difference in the lives of refugee families seeking safety and a fresh start?
At Hillhurst, we are continuing the work of the Refugee Ministry, and we need compassionate, committed individuals to join us in this important work. Whether you have a heart for hands-on help or a mind for planning and administration, there’s a place for you here.
Volunteer Opportunities Include:
Governance & Leadership: Help shape our ministry’s direction through roles in finance, administration, planning, and strategic oversight.
Direct Support & Settlement: Be part of the welcoming team! Assist newly arrived families with housing setup, transportation, orientation, and ongoing support as they settle into the community.
Whether you can give a few hours a month or more, your time and gifts can change lives.
