Why is it important for us to serve in this way, with children?
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of Heaven.” Alpharetta Methodist Children’s Ministry is the entry point of our Next Generation Discipleship Ministry, beginning with the littlest ones in the nursery and continuing on for the next 12 years through the end of a child’s 5th grade year. We partner with over 100 volunteers each year who introduce children to Jesus, show them that each one is loved by God, and teach children how to worship and pray.
Please contact Children’s Ministry Director Ellen Sanders for information on serving with our children, or complete the Service Interest Form and we’ll be in touch with you.
What does volunteering on Sunday morning look like?
Three teams of volunteers serve on a rotational schedule:
- 1 month on, followed by two months off
- August-May
- Serving at either the 9, 10 or 11 a.m. hours
