Expectations for serving in GENESIS Kids

Youth Volunteer (6th grade and up)

You are playing a role in the developing faith of children. Therefore, you have the opportunity to model what it looks like to love God and follow Jesus!

GENESIS KIDS TEAM EXPECTATIONS

Commit to the LORD

• Have a committed and growing relationship with Jesus, demonstrated through your Christ-like character, by attending church on Sundays (“sit one, serve one”) and participating in our discipleship rhythms, such as The JOURNEY, as your schedule allows.

Commit to the TEAM

• Respond to schedule requests
• Be prepared: Read the emails with the lessons so you know what’s happening
• Be on Time: Our huddles relay important information for the day, so arrive 20 minutes before the service time to receive these updates.

Follow the Dress Code:

• Wear your GENESIS KIDS t-shirt and lanyard so both parents and security know that you are a team member
• Dress appropriately – you will be playing with children, sitting on the floor, dancing, etc. Be mindful of baggy shirts or pants that may be revealing; wear actual shoes not flip flops, etc.
• Follow the guidelines for your role and listen to and respect those leading you (your Lead Teacher, Core Team Members, The GK Coordinator and GK Director).

SMALL GROUP ROLE

• Build relationships with kids
• Be friendly, kind and welcoming
• Play with kids at the beginning of group, get to know what things they like to do
• Ask them questions to learn more about them
• Be on the lookout for kids who might be having a hard time and try to help them connect
