Children’s Ministry: Working Together to Serve Kids
Dear Church Family,
Happy Spring! I wanted to check in and paint a clearer picture of what Sundays look like for our kids—and invite you to prayerfully consider how you might come alongside them.
Each Sunday, about 45 children fill our classrooms—that’s a full, lively group of kids learning, playing, and growing together. Across our church, 93 children call BCC their home and show up regularly throughout the month.
We are so grateful that families are finding a home here, and that our kids are experiencing a sense of belonging and growing in their relationships with God and one another. But this doesn’t happen by accident— it happens because caring, consistent adults show up week after week to be with them.
As we look ahead, here’s what it would take to make sure every child continues to be known, safe, and loved:
Summer Season (June – September)
Summer is a wonderful (and simple!) time to step in. Our regular volunteers take a break, and kids’ programming is just 40 minutes, with fully prepared, scripted lessons.
To care for our kids each week, we need:
22 people total, each serving just 3 Sundays all summer.
If you’re only available once or twice, we’d still love to add you to our sub list!
2026-2027 School Year (September – May)
Nursery:
If 18 people each serve 1 hour, once a month, our nursery is fully staffed for the entire year.
2 subs needed as well to help provide flexibility.
Preschool:
A small, consistent team of 9 people total creates a warm and welcoming space:
3 Storytellers (serve 2 weeks in a row, then 4 weeks off)
4 Helpers (serve once per month)
2 Subs
School Age (K–5th Grade):
Our elementary ministry runs on 4 small teams, each caring for a classroom. Each team includes:
2 Storytellers (serve twice per month)
4 Helpers (serve once per month)
2 Subs
When all 4 teams are in place (32 people total), every classroom is supported, and every child is known.
In Summary, What Does It Take To Fully Staff Our Kids Ministry??
22 people × 3 Sundays = a fully covered summer
18 people × 1 hour/month = a thriving nursery
9 people = a consistent preschool team
32 people = fully supported K–5 classrooms
These numbers above represent something bigger:
A child being greeted by name
A child feeling safe and seen
A child learning about God in a place where they belong
When we say “yes,” even in small ways, it really does make a lasting impact.
If you’re interested in serving—or just want to learn more—I would love to connect with you and help you find a role that fits.
Thank you for being a church that cares deeply for its kids.
With gratitude,
Megan Mattix
