9 Join the children's ministry team. Consider volunteering with our children! We need people interested in growing and serving: be a special buddy to children with special needs, love a small group of elementary or preschool aged children, be on stage to teach or act or both, or help out behind the scenes. Most people come to faith when they are young - join the team and make a difference by pointing kids to Christ! Contact: Julie Hazlett
