Kids Ministries Volunteer Training

Kids Ministries is a place of discipleship where seeds of faith are planted, kids meet Jesus, grow in faith, and experience church. We cannot do ministry on our own, nor would it be fun. Thank you for joining us in Kids Ministries to grow in your faith as well as reach our youngest attenders for Jesus.

Introduction to Kids Ministries

Every kid matters to God, which mean every kid matters to us! Everything we do is designed to reach kids for Christ and prepare them to be lifelong followers of Jesus.

Nursery Volunteer

The nursery is a space where both children and parents feel safe, loved, and confident. We know how much trust parents place in us when they leave their littles ones in our care. From birth to age two, we care for each child with intentional love, helping them learn to trust the adults around them, which lays the foundation for trusting God.
