Childcare for Volunteers' Children
Classroom Assistant
Commitment: Meeting with your lead teacher/team prior to VBS so that you all know what to expect from each other & how to work together.
Clean-Up / Tear Down
Crew Leader
You get to hang out with kids, be their friend, leader, and champion for the week. As children move from location to location, you get to know them throughout the week. You’ll have more interaction with a particular group of kids than anyone, which brings HUGE ministry opportunity with it. You’ll laugh with them, listen to them, keep ‘em in line, and maybe even cry with them. Most of all, you get to see the “lights come on” as they encounter God’s Word and the Lord begins to grip their heart.
Commitment: You’ll need to be here each night of the week for VBS. We’ll have one or two meetings before VBS, and after each evening we’ll get together to debrief so we can try to best understand where the kids are at and how we can best serve them and their families.
We’ll also need a team leader for this group of Group Leaders.
Drama/Skits
Commitment: Recruit a cast. Schedule and direct rehearsals. Coordinate preparation for any necessary props needed for the stage with the decorating committee. Decide on costumes, with the help of your cast. Work with audio/media team regarding sound, lights, etc.
