Called to Care. Sent to Serve.

Volunteers for Children's Ministry


There's a place for you to make a difference with our children! Volunteers are essential for safe and effective children's ministry, as volunteers provide caring relationships for our children to grow in faith.


There are many different ways and levels of commitment for serving with our children’s ministry, the largest need for volunteers being with our Sunday School programs. We encourage caregivers to volunteer at least one Sunday per year to help keep our program running smoothly. See below for more details on the ways you can serve. Anyone in 7th grade or older can be volunteers with the Children's Ministry!
