Small Group Leader (Teacher)
A small group leader takes the lead in coordinating classroom activities. The teacher plans the weekly lesson and leads teaching and instruction, including activities, games and crafts to correspond with lessons. The teacher is responsible for getting to know, praying for, and encouraging the children in the class.
Small Group Assistant
An assistant is one who works alongside the teacher(s) during weekly Bible study to facilitate the spiritual development of the children. They are responsible for aiding the teacher with various tasks such as taking roll, organizing projects and overall room management. Assistants will also take on the role of in-reach and outreach coordination. They will identify ministry needs and contact absentee members of the class, as well as contacting class prospects and visitors through cards, calls and e-mails.
Desk Coordinator
Desk ooordinators help guests register for classes, answer questions about the ministry, and guide people around the facility. Desk coordinators work from 9:00 -10:30, 10:30 - 12:00, and 6:00 - 7:30 on Sundays and from 5:30 - 7:30 on Wednesdays on a rotating basis.
Parent Pager Coordinator
Parent Pager coordinators will be trained in the Parent Pager Check-in System to register guests for classes. Parent Pager coordinators work one Sunday a month and do not necessarily need to stay for both services or the entire service. We mostly need help from 8:45 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. This allows Parent Pager coordinators to be involved in other areas of ministry or Adult Life Groups.

Storytellers should be gifted in communicating details, understanding scripture and biblical concepts, and interacting with a large audience of various ages. Must be available at least once a month.
