This is one that we have in place all ready, and are working backwards to establish it as the "norm" for the middle and high school kids. Right now a few of the kids help with the preschool and elementary classes. They help with crafts, lead games, and run the computer. We have established 3 "small groups" to help guide, train and develop these kids, one for drama, one for tech, and one for music. Now, to find the right people to lead those groups…..

We are still a young church, and just becoming more organized in our policies, procedures, and planning. We definitely want to plan Orange as we go, and this is the bottom floor. I'm glad that we have naturally "thought orange" in this area all ready. It makes it easier to develop that group that is all ready using what they have been taught, and actually are "climbing the mountain".

having served as both a youth pastor and children's pastor, I have always valued and held in high priority the idea of giving the youth opportunities to serve. I start them serving before they are ever teens. In our children's ministry the kids do as much as I do some weeks. I love having them serve as greeters, game leaders. They run sound, do puppets, lead worship and pray with others. My hope is that as they begin serving in their early years they will develop a passion for serving later too. For the most part, this is exactly what has happened. The kids grow up and lead as teens. I have always believed that this really helps the youth figure out their faith and develop their skills and passion for service. The more they use their gifts the stronger the ministry will be.
