Serving in Children’s Ministry

In The Village, we believe that serving our children by leading, blessing, teaching, and loving them opens us up to experience the leading, blessing, teaching, and love of God in our own lives. The Village desires to create opportunities for the church to serve out of their unique gifts and talents for the mutual benefit of adults and children and the glory of God. The below volunteer roles serve across all of our age groups.
