CHILD mINISTRY

We ask all parents to prayerfully consider becoming part of our Child Ministry team. We can’t do this without you! Opportunities are below or let us know if you have other ideas.

Catechists

Materials, orientation and training are provided. The curriculum is very user-friendly - you don’t need to know everything! We encourage you to talk to your friends and to parents of your children's friends. Consider team-teaching. You can take turns leading the lesson and assisting. Being a catechist is a great way to refresh your faith, form new relationships at church, be a role model for your child and serve God.

**We are pleased to offer a full tuition waiver (just pay sacrament and retreat fees) for ALL children (K4-Confirmation) of a catechist who commits to teaching weekly!

In addition to Full-time Catechists, we need . . .

  • Substitute Catechists (teach when you are available)

  • Aides in all classrooms.  (weekly and substitute)

  • Hall Monitors arrive at 8:30 to assist with set up of classes. Patrol halls during class. Assist with clean-up after class. Leave at 10:15. Sign up for the days that fit your availability.

  • Lesson preparation and clerical help in the office during the week.  

  • Assistance with occasional crafts or service projects.  

  • Sunday School Assistant: We are looking for another person who can assist us on Sunday mornings with managing the miscellaneous things that come up. Some of these things might be: Making photocopies. Subbing for a catechist or aide. Gathering materials for and assisting with a craft. Helping in a classroom with an enthusiastic group of kids. Escorting a class to the church and back. Replenishing classroom supplies. We work together to divide and conquer these tasks as they arise!
