Gathering Lead (1 gathering/month, Sundays)For those more experienced in leadership and teaching, we offer the opportunity to be the gathering lead in Citipoint Kids. This means you are the point person for all the other leaders during the gathering, and take charge of leading large group time (activity, musical worship, and our lesson). This role requires previous experience as a CKM leader or small group leader.
Small group leader (2-4 gatherings/month, Sundays)40% of our gathering is spent in small groups. Small groups are an integral part of cultivating relationships with kids, as it allows us to be in a setting that is more intimate. A typical small group time usually involves memory verse practice, a Bible story activity, discussion questions based on that day's Bible story, and time in prayer. Small group leaders will lead either in our 1st-3rd or 4th-5th grade small group, and take the lead on facilitating all of the small group activities and discussion.

Buddy (2-4 gatherings/month, Sundays)
It can be hard for kids to fit in and make friends; we've all been there! The buddy has one primary job on Sundays - find the kid(s) who is having a hard time or has higher needs, and spend intentional, one-on-one time with them during the gathering. Buddies are key to helping kids feel welcomed into our environment, as well as ensuring we are able to accommodate the kiddos with higher needs. If there are no such kids on a Sunday, the buddy then shifts their goal to helping keep all the kids focused on the Bible story during the large group time.
Leader (2-4 gatherings/month, Sundays)
The leader plays an integral part of our Sunday morning gathering; they participate in activities, musical worship, and large group time alongside the kids! Additionally, leaders might help a family check-in, answer a quick question, and help keep kids focused during large and small group time. Leaders will get the opportunity to get to know kids over time, and play a key role in their discipleship. If you are considering serving in kids, this is the best place to start!
Check-in (1-4 gatherings/month)
The first seven minutes a new family spends in our church facility could determine whether they gather with us again or not. The check-in team mans our station in the main lobby, and is responsible for welcoming both new and existing families, as well as getting the kids checked-in to their respective environments. They will help answers questions from families, and help troubleshoot our check-in iPads and printers from time to time on Sunday morning.
