Thank you for your interest in partnering with us to invest in the lives of our children and families here at Resurrection! We are always in need of dedicated volunteers who desire to share God’s love and truth with our youngest members. For the safety of our children we have a Volunteer Application Form that all volunteers are required to fill out. We also have a mandatory ‘Protecting God’s Children’ training course (2 hours) that we offer several times throughout the year.
Nursery Volunteer – Support our Nursery Staff workers by helping to care for the infants and toddlers during the 9am or 11am service.
Kid’s Worship Volunteer – Join the Elementary students as a small group leader for Kindergarten - 1st graders or 2nd - 3rd graders during their Kid’s Worship service. Volunteers participate in worship with the students, encouraging them to engage, and lead activities from the curriculum in their small groups that help students connect the lesson to their lives in an age appropriate manner. We use The Gospel Project for Kids which is a 3-year chronological adventure through the Bible to discover God’s ultimate rescue plan and how the entire Bible points to Jesus.
Preschool Classroom Leader – Our 3 and 4 year olds spend the service in their own classroom. During this time the classroom leader facilitates games, multi-sensory activities, and crafts that help the children more deeply engage with the lesson they are studying from God's Word. We use the Preschool version of the same Gospel Project curriculum we use with the Elementary children so that those with older siblings will be learning the same thing their older siblings are learning.
Any individual who volunteers with the ResKids Ministry is expected to:
