Reap the Rewards of Volunteering in the East Wing
There would be no Children's Ministries program without volunteers. With the exception of a few paid staff members, the entire program is run by volunteers. It takes 125 generous souls each month to man our childcare activities alone.
It is not necessary to have a Masters in Child Development, Religious Studies or Art to qualify. All that is needed is a warm heart, loving hands, and as little as one Sunday a month of your time. There are multiple ways to volunteer, from short- to long-term, event management to child care. Dressing up from time to time is optional, but fun!
Every effort is made to find a volunteer schedule that will work for an individual willing to be involved in making "faith memories" with the children. Curriculum and supplies are provided to all classes.
If you are interested in discovering the rewards of volunteering in the Children's Ministries area, please call the Education Office (846-2745 x307). All adults who work with children at St. Luke's must go through a background check as part of our Safety & Security policy.
