One of Providence Church’s most important missions is to raise up the next generation to love and follow the Lord, and it is our desire to come alongside parents during these formative years. If you love the tender hearts of children consider serving in Children’s Ministry. All volunteers desiring to work with children must fill out an application and pass a background check.

Children’s Welcome Center Greeter (commitment: before each service, once a month)
Greeters meet new families as they enter the children’s wing, check children in at the Welcome Center, and escort them to the proper classroom.  

Children’s Music Team (commitment: Sundays vary, 15 minutes during one service)
The Children’s Music Team combines their love for song and for children together in this unique ministry opportunity. You’ll love teaching children’s songs and leading music.

Bulletin Boards (commitment: two hours per month)
The Children’s Ministry appreciates volunteers who will decorate and update the Children’s Ministry bulletin boards. A creative eye and a willing hand can be a very big blessing to others.

Summer Teaching Team (commitment: one Sunday per month, June, July, and August)
We like to give our regular teachers a break during the summer. This low commitment teaching position is a great way to serve by overseeing a classroom of preschool children during the summer.

Substitute Teacher (commitment: as needed)
If you are unable to commit to a weekly routine but would love to serve in the Children’s Ministry, consider serving as a sub.  Substitute teachers follow the curriculum already in place.

Administrative Assistant (commitment: flexible)
The Children’s Ministry often needs help making copies, laminating, labeling, collating packets, filing records, preparing mailings, and entering data. The extra help is especially useful during the busiest seasons of August and May. All levels of computer skills and administrative savvy are welcome.

Elementary & Horizons
Kindergarten - 6th Grade

Sunday School Teacher (commitment: two months on/two months off, one service)
Elementary teachers have the very significant and joyful task of teaching God’s truth to the growing minds and open hearts of our children. Teachers in the elementary classes present their lessons based on the curriculum selected by the Children’s Ministry Team.  

Sunday School Aid (commitment: two months on/two months off, one service)
A teacher’s aid helps children with activities and helps the teacher with whatever tasks need assistance. The teacher’s aid does not present the main lesson.

Awana Leader (commitment: Tuesday evenings, September through May)
Help lead a group of children through the games, story, and music activities of Awana club nights. No advance preparation is needed for the position, only a love for the Word and for the children.

VBS Crew Leader (commitment: weekday mornings, one week per year)
Each year, the Children’s Ministry presents Vacation Bible School for Providence families and the surrounding communities.  Crew leaders lead groups of children through games, Bible stories, songs, drama, and more. Look for information about opportunities to serve coming this spring.

Sports Camps (commitment: weekday mornings, one week per year)

• Assistant Coach
  If you have a heart for children and have experience playing or coaching either soccer or basketball, consider joining the Sports Camps coaching team.
• Behind the Scenes
  Sports Camps aren’t just about running, jumping, and playing - there is much more work to be done! Administrative tasks, helping with snacks, and organizational skill sets are needed as well.
