Serve with Children’s Ministry!

Children’s Ministry is empowered by members of our church who volunteer their time and energy to love our kids and families. Kids learn and experience the love of Jesus, which we pray encourages them toward a lifetime of faith.

But did you know it takes about 134 regular volunteers to make Children’s Ministry happen? That includes volunteers in Nursery, Sunday School teachers, other Sunday morning support roles, and leaders for Club 45 and Communicants on Sunday evenings. Consider what your place might be serving in Children’s Ministry! Training is provided, and volunteers work as a team.

Nursery & Pre-K Sunday School:

Need: We’re looking for 72 additional (weekly, twice-monthly, once-monthly) volunteers.

Description: Volunteers lead kids in activities and oversee free play. Prep time is minimal.

Elementary (K–6th Grade) Sunday School Teachers:

Need: We’re looking for 28 additional (preferably weekly) volunteers to teach on a team; we’ll train you!

Description: Teachers facilitate activities and lessons following our Children’s Ministry curriculum.

Sunday Support Roles:

Need: We’re looking for 10 additional (once-per-month) volunteers.

  • Hall Supervisors: welcome parents, assist in getting kids checked in and settled, and support teachers as needed.
  • Welcome Desk Greeters: greet families and help new families get to their Sunday School classes.
  • Buddies: several kids may need a buddy to help them connect to the lesson and their class activities.

Club 45 Leaders:

Need: We’re looking for 11 additional (twice-monthly) leaders.

Description: Club 45 provides a fun time of fellowship for children in 4th & 5th grade. Kids will enjoy worship, silly games, and dinner with friends. Club 45 meets on two Sunday nights per month.

Communicants Teachers:

Description: In 6th grade, children are invited to become communing members of our church. This process includes learning the precepts of the Christian faith among fellowship, games, and dinner. Communicants meets on two Sunday nights per month.

Regularly serving in Children’s Ministry requires a background check, two references, and completion of a training session.
