Volunteer in JAM City

We have many opportunities to serve in different capacities in our children's department. Teachers, helpers, nursery workers, choir leaders, decorators, and organizers. Your talent could be just what we need. Most teaching and helpers positions are for Sunday mornings (and VBS). Nursery workers are needed for Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings, and special occasions. And some jobs can be done during the week, when you are available. We'd love to work with you, serving our God together.

All volunteers go through a background check before serving with children.
