Generation Ministries — Infants through High School
Be a Major Hero to a Minor!
We have a great kids and student ministry with some great volunteers and we’d love to invite you to join them. From youngest to oldest, Journey provides age specific weekend services because every story matters. But the truth is, we rarely find Jesus all on our own. We need someone to help us experience God’s goodness. So, that’s where you come in. Regardless of what age you might enjoy the most, we have some great opportunities for you to serve with us and make a toddler or teen’s day. So why not give it a try? Sign up for any of our generation ministries using the form below and we’ll get you plugged in. If you have questions, you can get in touch with a specific area director as listed below, or email generation@journeycom.org.

LITTLE ONES — Infants & Toddlers
The great thing about working with babies and toddlers is that they are super sweet and just want to be held and cuddled, and they are very easily entertained. The only thing volunteers really have to do is be willing to hold them on a rough day, and watch to make sure they don’t get into any dangerous situations. Working with these little ones proves to be an exciting experience full of fun and laughter.
Sunday helpers: 8:45 – 10:45 am
Sunday helpers: 10:45 am – 12:45 pm

LITTLE ONES — 2 to 4 year olds
Working with 2- to 4-year-old kids is so much fun! It is full of hugs and laughs. These Little Ones’ faces light up when they see a familiar face in their classrooms week to week. Volunteering with Little Ones is playing a huge part of Journey. These little ones are our future. This is the age where they are just learning about Jesus! The kids are full of awe, wonder and excitement when they hear the stories of the bible. We have free time, bible stories, puppet shows and worship. Come be a part of planting the seeds and watching these kid grow.

CLUB TK2 — 5 year olds through 2nd Grade
The 5 year olds, kindergarteners, 1st, and 2nd graders in Club TK2 are playful, active, and often times quite silly, and they learn best through games, crafts, and songs that reflect those qualities. Not yet abstract thinkers, they use all their senses to grasp a concept. These children approach an understanding of God with such openness, and express their faith with a simplicity that leaves the adults feeling schooled. They are awesome kids to journey with as we learn and grow together!
Sunday helpers: 8:45 – 10:45 am
Sunday helpers: 10:45 am – 12:45 pm

CLUB 34 — 3rd + 4th Grade
3rd and 4th graders are some of the sweetest kiddos you’ll ever meet! This age is playful and fun. They are eager to learn and love to hang out with leaders and friends. This is an age where kids are still eager to learn and adults have not lost their cool factor yet. A volunteer in this area needs to be willing to have fun conversations, help make crafts and have a lot of fun!

EDGE 56 — 5th + 6th Grade
5th and 6th graders are simply amazing! They are on the “edge” between kids ministry and student ministry. As kids, they are still into crafts, games and fun. While at the same time, as students, they are ready for more responsibility and leadership opportunities. They are both actively learning lessons about who God is and starting to ask tougher questions on their journey to build their own unique relationship with Him. These are such important years as we get them ready for the challenges ahead in Junior High and High School both developmentally and emotionally.
Small Group Leaders: Sundays 8:45 – 10:45 am
Small Group Leaders: Sundays 10:45 am – 12:45 pm

TGIF — Friday Nights
TGIF is our fun Friday night program for kids 5 years old through 6th grade. We have a team of Friday Fun Counselors and Leaders who work with these ages to build relationships, learn about God and have fun. These kids are eager to get to know us and spend time with us. This is such a great opportunity to spend a little more one-on-one time with kids and have conversations about what’s going on in their lives.
Friday Nights: 7 – 8:30 pm
