Position and Purpose
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade small group leaders will serve the mission through engaging the children’s hearts and minds in Biblical learning. For most children, this is the prime age for opening their hearts to a relationship with Jesus. Seeing God’s Word as active and alive sets the stage for growth.
Tasks:
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade small group assistants will help accomplish this through:
- Studying the lesson to reinforce what is taught in the large group setting.
- Build a relationship with the children in their respective small groups.
- Let the children share their prayer requests and pray with them.
Skills:
- Ability to connect with children on their level.
- Knowledgeable about games, TV and movies that kids are playing, watching and exposed to at school.
- Ability to help “control the crowd” in a positive way (rather than negative calling out, always saying “no” and “don’t”).
- Ability to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to class.
Screening:
Volunteers are subject to a criminal and child abuse background check.
