CHILDREN’S MINISTRY VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The song says "Jesus loves the little children ..." and the Bible tells us that it's true! We love children, too, and for that reason we want to introduce them to Jesus, teaching them of His love, sacrifice, and the salvation He offers freely to all who accept. It's an important job that comes with big rewards. Please pray over these roles and follow God’s leading as you make your selections. We are looking forward to partnering with you as we lead children to Jesus. Thank you for volunteering.

Each volunteer, adult, and student, will be asked to fill out a Volunteer to Serve Application. Adult volunteers will be asked to fill out background check forms. Training is provided for all areas.
