Serve in Children’s Ministry

Our Sunday programs don’t happen without the faithful help of about 50 volunteers who serve on a rotating basis. From holding babies, to leading songs and stories, to helping families at check-in and keeping hallways secure—there are lots of ways to help kids hear and see the gospel.

We also recruit volunteers throughout the year for special events and seasonal programs.

  • Be a member of Atonement, or have regularly attended Atonement for at least six months
