Top 10 Reasons to Serve in Children’s Ministry
Jeanine Shumaker,
Children's Ministry Coordinator, Greater Philadelphia Church of Christ
When recruiting volunteers, sometimes an offbeat, humorous approach can attract more attention & interest than a typical announcement. Serving in Children's Ministry is such a joy - here are ten unique benefits of serving in the Children's Ministry.
1. Impact a child’s life for eternity by providing them the opportunity to learn about God’s love for them.
2. Become more like Jesus and let the little children come to you by serving whole-heartedly in Children's Ministry.
3. Re-learn bible stories and experience the excitement of Noah’s Ark and Daniel and the Lion’s Den through the eyes of a child.
4. Learn how to play creative games and entertain a roomful of energetic toddlers with only a cotton ball and a balloon.
5. Stretch your brainpower as you figure out a creative answer to the following question: “If God has the whole world in his hands, don’t the people in Antarctica get squashed?"
6. Be a hero and role model in your own child’s life or the life of another child.
7. Tone your arms while singing and doing the hand motions to “The Sea of Galilee”.
8. Have a legitimate reason to dress up in outrageous costumes made out of bed sheets and paperclips.
9. Eat all the gold fish and drink all the apple juice you desire.
10. Grow in the virtue of patience as 16 children repeatedly ask you "When is snack time?"
