Woodmont Kids Volunteer “Job Descriptions”
Sundays (all are rotation except BSC):
● Worship Hour Classroom Care (Most needed)
- These volunteers relieve the Bible Study Connection teacher and care for children during the worship hour. Volunteers arrive at 10:10am to a room with babies - 3rd Grade (preference is honored!)
- For rooms with Babies - One year old toddlers, teachers maintain care in the classroom with an occasional stroller ride. They are tasked with providing care, changing diapers, and being a positive, praying presence for the children in the room.
- Rooms with 2 year olds - 3rd Graders - Volunteers help children finish their snack time at transition. They walk children to “Large Group Time” and help kids listen to the large group leaders. Afterwards, they return to small group rooms for crafts and follow-up. The craft if prepared ahead of time and you’ll receive a quick look email with a preview. After craft, these ages free-play with a few prepared items for small group rooms until parent pick-up.
- Large Group Leaders
- Our children’s church hour’s content is led in 3 large groups
- 2 & 3 Year Olds Tot Spot 30 minutes
- 4 Year - Kindergarten The Spot 40 minutes
- 1st - 3rd Grades Gym 55 minutes
- Each large group leader has a curriculum and prepares worship through song, Bible content, games, and activities (except crafts - prepared by someone else & done in small groups afterwards)
- Large group leaders have the classroom management help of several other leaders, so their main focus is on the teaching.
- Worship Hour Greeter
- This is a new role and highly needed during the 10am - 10:40am timeframe. Volunteers will be stationed at the Welcome desk or Early Elementary hallway and help families who are here for worship find the right children’s classroom and gather all information needed. Help with any teacher transition communication.
- Worship Hour Coordinator
- This role serves by checking on all small group & large group leaders to be sure they’ve arrived, have appropriate materials, and helps with issues that arise in any room. Administrative skills and excellent communication are helpful!
- Bible Study Connections Teachers
- Each school year Bible Study Connections teachers commit to serving with a specific age group for a period from August - July (school year and the next Summer). We are so thankful for these who commit to regularly teaching the same group of children each week. We use “The Gospel Project for Kids/Preschool” curriculum for each age and it provides plenty of activity and direction for what to teach. No classroom experience is required, but a commitment to prepare, welcome a small group (around 8) of kids, and be a supportive praying adult in these children’s lives. At all ages we aim for faithful adults per group, but sometimes people serve every-other week or on a bi-monthly basis. We have a coordinator who equips teachers and we keep a good substitute list.
- Fill out your interest for Bible Study Connections anytime throughout the year! We are usually confirming the next school year by March & August, and a great place to start if you are interested is by substituting or helping with worship care.
- BSC teachers arrive at 8:30am and are relieved for the worship hour by 10:10am each week.
Wednesdays:
- Greeter Help
- These volunteers help run the check in desk and open the door for families upon arrival. Help needed from 5:15 - 6pm
- Kids Choir Assistants
- We always need help with our larger preschool & elementary choirs, especially around events and plays.
- Kids Choir Leader
- This is a year long, weekly commitment during the school year. We need leaders willing to prepare the lesson (or assist the leader) with the 3 age groups: Preschool, 5 Year - Kindergarten, and Elementary Choir.
- Mission Friends Leader
- Also a weekly commitment during the school year, Mission Friends leaders are equipped with a curriculum and supplies. They prepare a lesson for about 50 minutes after choir. Occasionally we have guest missionary speakers and go on local field trips to be on mission.
Events & Ministry Team:
- Events
- During Vacation Bible School, worship nights, Fall Festival, and other seasonal family oriented events, we need help! If you select this role, you’ll be placed on a list that receives updates about the plans for future Woodmont Kids events and can choose to help with what you are able. We believe that all ages are called to make disciples and every event will be gospel centered, so join us!
- Ministry Team
- If you are interested in praying for and leading at a higher level regarding children’s ministry programming at events, this team is here to serve others. This team meets every other month to pray, plan, and evaluate what the Lord is doing through Woodmont Kids. Once a year, more members roll on and off the team, so please express your interest here!
