SS Teacher
Have you ever thought of yourself as a Children’s Sunday school leader? Maybe you’re wondering if you have what it takes. Well, you don’t need to be ordained, be a professional teacher, or know everything there is to know about the Bible to serve in this way. But God might be calling you to this ministry if you have the following qualities:
A heart for nurturing kids’ faith, helping them ask questions, wonder about God, and discover something new.
A desire to make God’s story personal by helping them relate the Bible to their own lives, and sharing about your own faith along the way.
A love of learning — teachers always learn right alongside their students!
We currently have an opening in our Grade 4 & 5 Sunday School teaching team — please contact Dana if you are interested.
