Is this a good extra cirricular?

I’ve been volunteering at my church a lot recently, doing camera work, light shading, assisting the video director (I go to a mega-church (25k members)) and assisting the monitor board. Now with school coming up in the fall, a lot of college kids will drop their volunteering down significantly or resign from their paid part time jobs, opening a hole for me to work part time.

So the question is: is a volunteering opportunity turning into a job opportunity a good extra-cirricular? Would it show colleges anything about me: like my ability to pursue an interest or my ability to handle responsibilities? Do you think I could write a college essay on it?

Write now I’m entering my junior year and I’m pretty weak on ECs. Also, I don’t have any major topics to write about for essays. Any opinions on this topic are appreciated.
