Sunday Ambassador
Living into our value of being an Open Space and Vibrant Place, where Sacred Connections happen, we're looking for volunteers to be a loving presence on Sundays, and to help facilitate a positive worship experience. Being a part of a busy downtown church, with a diverse community coming through our doors; we are looking for a couple volunteers each Sunday, empowered to connect with our vulnerable community members. Further training and resources are available, but previous training and experience with outreach and vulnerable populations is helpful. Sign up through our weekly email or on the sign-up sheet at the Welcome Table, and for more information reach out to Keith kmurray@kxcalgary.com.

Kitchen Cleanup
Our monthly potlucks are a wonderful time to connect and share as a community—and we need your help to keep them running smoothly!
We’re looking for volunteers to assist with clean-up duties after our potluck gatherings. Tasks include clearing tables, washing dishes, and tidying up the space. Many hands make light work, and your help ensures these events remain a joyful and stress-free experience for everyone.

Sanctuary Hosts
We want to rebuild our presence as a church in downtown Calgary by opening the sanctuary and labyrinth for those seeking a quiet space during the week. We’re looking for volunteer hosts who can open the 6th Avenue doors and stay to greet visitors for a couple of hours (schedule TBD). We’re initially targeting Tuesday at lunchtime but would appreciate volunteer hosts any weekday between 10 am and 2 pm. This is an important and rewarding way to engage in the life and work of our church. If you would like to inquire about this project, contact Doug Chandler (dchandler1@shaw.ca) or email the church office (office@kxcalgary.com).
Potluck Hosts
Our monthly potlucks are a cherished time for connection and community, and we’re seeking hosts to help make these gatherings even more special!
As a host, you’ll assist with setting up the space, organizing dishes as they arrive, and ensuring everything runs smoothly during the meal. It’s a great way to contribute while getting to know others in our community.
