Volunteering:
The Grove
“The Grove” is the area our children spend time in each Sunday morning. We want their time in “The Grove” to be the best part of their week. Through music, drama, games, crafts, and activities we bring the Bible to life each week. We want the children to take to heart what they have learned and see them live it out in their daily lives because that is what Jesus wants us to do. To make that happen, we need a group of volunteers passionate about guiding and leading our children to a relationship with Christ. Whether it be a three year old asking about how God made the world or a 4th grader asking why they need Jesus in their lives, we know our volunteers touch the lives of our children in a powerful way. Making a positive impact for Christ with our children each week takes a lot of work. This is where YOU come in. We want you to be a part of transforming children’s lives.
The Commitment
This is a high level commitment as it relates to the amount of time and energy it takes to make it work.
The time commitment is for you to be available to serve every Sunday in a month. You would need to arrive at church at 9:45 am to greet children and be prepared to lead the children until 11:20 am. We ask our volunteers to work on a monthly rotation. You would work one month (ex. March) and be off for several months (ex. April and May) before being asked to lead another month (ex. June). We continually try to ask new people to serve in an effort to increase our volunteer base so people will not have to serve but a few times each year. For our children’s safety and security, we require background checks on all volunteers working in “The Grove.”
Some of the Responsibilities include:
Babies
- Work with children ages birth up to 2 years old
- During play, introduce the main ideas of a particular Bible story
- Diapering and feeding the children, as needed
- Assist in cleaning up the babies area so the tear down volunteers could pack everything up
Preschool
- Work with children ages 2 to Pre-K in a group setting
- With provided curriculum, plan and carry out a lesson focused on a particular Bible story
- Assist in cleaning up the preschool area so the tear down volunteers could pack everything up
Grade school
- Work with children in grades K – 5th grade
- With provided curriculum, plan and carry out several small group activities after the leaders in this area share the Bible story
- Assist in cleaning up the grade school area so the tear down volunteers could pack everything up
