We are currently looking for volunteers in the following areas:
Sundays:
- Kids Min Greeter *New*
- As a greeter, we need you to welcome kids at the door with a big smile and be on the lookout for new families who need help finding their way around. You may be helping them with a registration or check-in. You win when kids feel welcomed and cared for as soon as they walk through the doors so they'll be more likely to connect with others in a small group. A friendly smile and desire to welcome others is what is needed!
- Teacher
- As part of our Teach Team you will be instrumental in presenting the gospel; training children to know, obey, and defend God's Word; and encourage them to become conformed to the image of Christ. You will teach from Answers in Genesis ABC Curriculum lesson plans and resources. Additional training will be provided during the year. As Teacher, you will be in a class team with a Teacher's Assistant, and Junior Teacher, whom you will mentor and encourage leadership from. Plan on teaching 12-24 weeks, and mentoring another teacher for 12 weeks. Membership is required.

You'll be a key part of the classroom... the joy you will gain from getting to know the kids and seeing their faces light up will make you eager to see them and be part of their spiritual walk! Most weeks you will assist but you will be mentored to develop leadership and teaching skills of your own: eventually teaching parts of the class and developing onfidence and skills to teach for His purpose.
