Volunteer Job Descriptions

The Children’s Ministry has the unique opportunity to pour into the kids in our church by showing them the love of God, teaching them about His character and gift of salvation, having fun with them, and making connections with their families. Our leaders are the most significant part of the ministry as every week they are given the task to help kids experience God in a variety of ways.
