FIT resources that will equip you in serving well!
- Sign Up Genius is an email based sign up tool that allows you to serve based on your schedule. Each month you will receive an invitation choose the location and time that best suits your needs. Your involvement in Sign Up Genius allows each team member know which service will be covered and which is still in need. Follow up email reminders will help you stay organized. You will find the Sign Up Genius link below.
- The FIT Newsletter helps our team communicate effectively. Emails of the FIT Newsletter will arrive that will provide descriptions of your role and responsibilities as a greeter. This Newsletter will allow you to stay informed with other aspects of the FIT ministry as well. FIT is a beautifully vast ministry that impacts much of ECC. Through this Newsletter we can learn the different functions of our Team, individual roles and responsibilities, and learn how to support one another both in teamwork and prayer.

- Training and Orientations are personal opportunities to engage as a team under the leadership of Josh Austin. During these meetings we will discuss opportunities, expectations, and the purposeful foundation of our FIT ministry. There is also a time for Q&A, a great chance to ask questions and give feed back. There is a Link to sign up for the next orientation below.
- Personal Information is vital! We are a team in the Family of God; therefore, we truly want to know You! We ask that you provide up-to-date contact information, so we can be an effective team.
