We are grateful for the volunteers that God has sent to help us teach children about God’s greatness and worth, encourage them to glorify God, inspire them to live holy lives and challenge them to serve God joyfully.

We are looking for people who are passionate about teaching children about our great God. If you are one of these people, we welcome you to our team at Grace Kids.

Periodic Volunteers

Nursery, Toddlers, and More
We also need Nursery/Toddler monthly volunteers and substitutes for all ages. We need volunteers to oversee the playground each Sunday morning, help with Kidsnet, and be special needs buddies.

To ensure that we’re providing spiritual growth for our teachers we request that our children’s volunteers regularly attend a Sunday morning church service.
