Crest Kids
Transforming New Generations of Children through Christ

Come and join the fun!
A wide range of service opportunities are available within Crest Kids (CK), both in gifting/talent and time commitment.  Listed below are a few key areas for you to consider.  If you need additional information, please contact the Crest Kids Office at 601.853.1090.

Teachers: As a Crest Kids "teacher" your focus is on loving the kids and teaching the lesson. Almost all of the prep work is done for you ahead of time.  A rotation plan allows you to have one Sunday off each month.  This is a great place to serve as a couple.

Mentors: Opportunity to mentor (with another adult) a small group (8-10) of children in a small group/large group setting;  responsible for teaching your small group, alternating with large group time led by actors or a master teacher;  all detailed lessons and materials are supplied to you;  you supply the leadership and love.

Leadership Team: Provide leadership, encouragement and support to Crest Kids teachers and assist in managing the operation of Crest Kids on Sunday morning.  Other opportunities include administrative or curriculum support and require 2 - 4 hours during the week.

Actors: Unique opportunity to use your gifting to serve approximately 15 times a year;  responsibilities range from "teaching" the key lesson point through a memorized script to small, fun parts that support the regular acting team;  also, skilled puppeteers or people interested in becoming a puppet pro are needed as part of the regular acting teams.

Worship:  Join a great team of Worship Leaders who are teaching our Preschool and Elementary (1st - 3rd Grade) children to Worship for 20 -25 minutes on Sunday Morning.

Substitute Teacher / Floater - Be available to fill in for Crest Kids teachers who need to be gone for a Sunday or two.
