SAY “YES!” to Serving with Kids!

Learn more about being a HERO TO CHILDREN through Highpoint Kids!

Let me outline some of the opportunities we have, and then let me know what best fits your gifts, passion and skills! When you’re ready, FILL OUT THIS FORM to start the  process to join one of our awesome Ministry Teams!

FAMILY CONNECTION TEAM (aka Kids Check-in)

We don’t call it “check-in” because it’s so much more! Those who serve as Guides and Service Leads do much more than just help families check in their kids and get a security sticker. They give parents and kids their First Impression of our church! It’s an important role. If you don’t know how to smile, don’t volunteer here! We have two distinct roles: Guides and Service Leads.

Guides – (Previous Greeters) These volunteers arrive 15-20 minutes before service and obviously greet kids and parents as they arrive. They provide help with the check in process as needed, answer questions and generally celebrate that they came to Highpoint today. If families are new, they guide them through the check-in process and can even walk them to their various classes, introducing them to staff and answering any questions they may have. Once check-in slows down, our Guides are free to head to the adult service. Some Guides prefer to work two services on the Sundays they serve – as they can serve before one service, then attend, then serve before the next service before heading home. Some even choose to help in a ministry classroom after serving as a Guide where we may need extra help.

Service Lead – (Previously Hosts.) We have one Service Lead per service. They are stationed at the Welcome Center for the entire service so that we always have someone available for families who arrive late or for other needs that arise. They get additional training on the check-in software and equipment so they can set it up and put away after the second service. They also help new families to register, visit the classrooms to take attendance and have some other minor administrative responsibilities.

EARLY CHILDHOOD MINISTRY (Preschool)

Trail Guides – In addition to Worship Leaders and Teachers, we have ministry teams of 4-5 in every class every week – this adds up to around 20 Helpers needed every Sunday in Nursery through Kindergarten. If you can show up on time once or twice a month with a cheerful attitude and helpful heart, you’ll be a blessing to the children and other volunteers! If you have leadership gifts or enjoy being up front leading or teaching, let us know, but our primary need is just people who are willing to be in the room lending a friendly helping hand.

ELEMENTARY MINISTRY (Kindergarten through 5th Grade)

Trail Guide in the The Outpost – This is what we call our helpers in Elementary. No preparation needed! Trail Guides sit in with the kids, help them engage, assist in games and other elements as needed, greet new kids, pass things out, help with minor discipline and overall provide the adult presence we need in a room with nearly 100 kids. Some even help with the media in the sound booth

Trail Blazers Teacher or Helper – If you LOVE to teach and write your own lessons, you’ll love to be a part of this small elite team! To serve our volunteers with children, we offer a really fun second service class for elementary kids who have already attended first service. Pastor Karl provides a copy of the lesson from The Outpost and you get to create your own lesson for second service to take the lesson a little farther down the road. (ie Trail Blaze!) It’s a smaller group so you can so games, crafts and other activities that we can’t do in a large group. It’s a lot of fun. Volunteer for just one Sunday a month!

As always, if you have leadership gifts or enjoy being up front leading or teaching, let us know, but our primary need is just people who are willing help out.
