    Skills Needed:

    Teachers need to have a love for the Word of God and a desire to share the gospel with children, no Biblical training necessary! Full scripted lessons are provided each week as part of a yearly curriculum cycle, and teachers are asked to look over and pray for the week’s lesson a few days before teaching to be prepared. Teachers should be heavily invested in seeing their group of children thrive in their faith and find belonging both with their peers and in the greater parish context over the course of the ministry year.

    Frequency: One service once every three weeks, or more.

    Teachers are asked to serve no less than one service every three weeks and requires some weekly preparation to review the lesson before the Sunday you serve. Arrive 20 minutes before the service to help prepare the space for the children, and you will serve from the point children are invited to class through when they return to their parents.

    We ask that teachers to commit to one classroom for the launch of the year (August) through to the end of the year (May). Volunteer schedules are created every quarter in the ministry year (Fall, Winter, Spring), so if any changes need to be made there is an opportunity every few months to reassess.

    Nursery Workers are asked to serve no less than one service, once a month and involves no weekly preparation. Each week, you'll receive a list of the babies in our nursery, and we invite you to pray for each child by name. As you serve throughout the year you'll have the opportunity to build relationships with babies and toddlers ages 6 months to 3 years by caring for them, reading beautiful stories, and engaging in play alongside our childcare staff. We ask that volunteers commit for the launch of the ministry year (August) to the end of that ministry year (May). Volunteer schedules are created quarterly to provide flexibility and consistency. Our nursery ministry continues throughout the summer, and many volunteers choose to serve year-round.
