Each Sunday these leaders, along with 1-3 other volunteers, will walk students through a pre-service activity, a main lesson, discussion questions, and prayer time.

This role is an awesome position for those gifted in administration or for individuals that seek to serve in children’s ministry in a non-teaching role.

Leaders assist a smaller group of students (5-10 children) through a time of prayer and various community service activities. Children in this space have already attended an hour of programming so the hope is that during this time, deeper conversations about the weeks lesson will be had and students will begin to develop a love for serving as they fellowship together.

Leaders in our alternative classrooms interact with the kids through sensory play and facilitate our video based Bible story curriculum and crafts. You may also serve as a buddy and attend typical kids ministry services with a child.
