Children’s Ministry Opportunities:

This fall there are a bunch of opportunities in Children’s ministry at Bethany.  We are looking for assistance in Elementary and Preschool Sunday school. We will pair you with an experienced teacher as a mentor and depending on your experience and aptitude, you can assist, teach, lead a classroom. We have opportunities for small group leaders in Elementary and Preschool. Here you will learn small group dynamics and lead a group of children in processing and applying Biblical truth.  We have opportunities in Children’s church for a Sunday morning Storyteller in Elementary and Preschool. These “master teachers” communicate the Bible story in creative and dynamic ways right in preparation for the small group application time.  And we have an opportunity for a Kids worship leader and activity leader for our elementary aged students. If you want to work behind the scenes, you can assist our CM director in classroom preparations during the week.   All of this is customizable to your gifting and level of experience and Gwen will walk with you every step of the way providing valuable feedback and mentoring.

Requirements:

• Sunday Worship- interns participate in regular worship services and church life.
•    Participate in one of the Children’s Ministry’s Sunday morning services. Children’s programing is offered during 2 services that run consecutively. 9am service is the Sunday School hour in Children’s Ministry and the 10:35 service is the Children’s worship service.
•   Provide your own transportation

Advantages:

We know that being a college student can be challenging and you probably miss your home church.  Well, we can be your church family while you are at LBC!  Along with the valuable experience you will gain in ministry, you can also take advantage of these opportunities:

•        Making friends throughout the congregation and especially in the CM department
•        Frequent invitations for a home cooked meal and to hang out with a family
•        Prayer support
•        Gas money to help with travel expenses
