* A local hospital that needs volunteers to sit with hospice patients.
* A local literacy program that trains volunteers and assigns them to students
There are boys and girls clubs you can volunteer with; hospitals that need volunteers; soup kitchens that need dishwashers; etc. If you're more interested in something involving evangelism, then start a weekly bible study group in your house.
If you are most fulfilled when you're serving, then by all means, look outside the church walls for opportunities to serve.

Excellent post! While I am not in church leadership I do contribute to several community outreach type organizations. It is very rewarding!
I very often believe we are doing the work of Jesus through easing pain and suffering and providing positive entertainment and mentoring in the community.
