Please consider serving in Children’s Ministry at Foothills Calvary

Our church is growing, each Sunday there are new faces and with that our Children's Ministry is growing

too! As we grow, we ask that those who are called to serve children to prayerfully consider serving in

one of our three Children’s classrooms – Oaks (school-age), Aspens (preschool age), Saplings (sitting-2

years old).

As a member of the FAM team many of you have already completed the requirements to serve in

Children’s which are to attend church for at least 6 months, complete a Servants Application and

Trauma Training as well as serve in another area at church -FAM. As we grow, there is also a greater

chance that kids from tough places will be in our Children’s classrooms, with your experience serving in

FAM you can help ensure Sundays are a positive and safe place for kiddos in foster care.

If you feel called contact Shevy at Kids@foothillscalvary.org or chat with her or Falon on a Sunday.
