Serving in Kids Ministry
Our HOPE and EXPECTATION is for all parents who make OLC their home to serve in our Kids Ministry 4 times/year (once a quarter). BUT you don’t have to just be a parent to serve in our Kids Ministry NOR do you only have to do it just 4 times/year either! There are lots of ways for ANYONE to be part of our Kids Min Team, as often as you’d like!
- Help in the nursery at 9:00 or 10:30
- Be a lesson leader in One Life Kids at 9:00
- Be a helper in One Life Kids at 9:00
- Be a lesson leader for our preschool class at 10:30
- Be a lesson leader for our younger elementary class at 10:30
- Be a helper in our preschool class at 10:30
In addition to signing up on the calendar, we also need each person who serves in our Kids Ministry to complete 2 background checks to ensure the safety of our kids. Click the links below to complete the FREE for VOLUNTEERS Background Check and Child Abuse Clearance.
We hope to see your kiddos this year!
One Life Kids (Age 3-5th grade)
One Life Kids happens during both of our services. Each week kids engage in hands on, interactive lessons, play games, create, sing, dance, and build friendships during their time in One Life Kids.
Kids Age 3 through 6th grade can be dropped off to the One Life Kids Room before the service begins. They can be checked in right outside the kids room, safely dropped off, and then picked back up at the end of the service. You can enjoy the service knowing that your kiddos are safe, having fun, and learning about Jesus each week!
One Life Nursery (Infants-age 2)
We offer childcare during both services for infants through age 2.
Children can be checked into the nursery before the service and picked up after the service. In the case of an emergency or your child needs you, we will text you to let you know you need to come to the nursery.
KidZone
KidZone at One Life Church is our WEDNESDAY Night kids’ ministry!
Kids age 3 through 6th grade are invited to join us each Wednesday @ 6:30pm-7:30pm for a time of playing games, singing songs, making friends, and learning about Jesus.
What can I expect when I visit?
The safety and security of your children is important to us! We have a simple check in system and background checked volunteers to give you a peace of mind knowing that when you drop your kids off in the nursery, OLK, OLK Jr., or KidZone, your children are cared for, safe, and having a great time!
Check-in:
Visit the table on the Dock to check in all kids in 6th grade and younger. You will receive a nametag for your child, a security label for you, and any additional tags for diaper bags, car seats, etc. Please place your child’s nametag on their shirt and keep the smaller security tag with you. Then, kids age 2 and younger can be dropped off in the nursery and all kids age 3-6th grade can sit with their family in the sanctuary for worship.
Enjoy the service:
After worship, kids age 3-6th grade will be dismissed to One Life Kids/One Life Kids Jr. when the sign flashes on the screen. You can enjoy the service knowing your kids are safe, secure, and learning biblical truths in their own way! If there is an emergency, a volunteer will text the phone number on your child’s nametag to alert you. Please report to your child’s classroom if this should happen.
Check-out:
After the service, please take your security tag to your child’s classroom. The teacher will match your tag with the one on your child’s shirt. *If you happen to lose your security tag during the service, please let Miss Kaitlyn know and she will dismiss your child to you.
Interested in Serving?
At One Life Church we take safety and security very seriously. It’s also important to us that you serve in your gifts. When serving in your gifts it doesn’t feel like work – it feels like worship!
If serving in our kid’s ministries is of interest to you, please read these volunteer job descriptions and then give Kate a call at 814-317-3171 extension 2.
