At Northview Kids, we value the importance of investing in kids’ faith journey and showing them the love of Christ.
But we need your help! There are various ways to serve with Northview Kids, whether working directly with kids is your thing, or if you’d like to greet families as they arrive at church. You can even provide security during the services. Read on for all the ways to serve the kids and families of Northview.
If you have any questions about these roles, we’d love to answer them! Contact children@northview.org.
We schedule our Serve Teams based on their schedules! Weekly, bi-weekly, and once a month – we can make sure your schedule works for you! We even have a sub team to help jump in on weekends when they can, and when we need it the most!
Our Current Needs
These roles are some of our main and most urgent roles we need filled!
Serve in a classroom!
Grade School
Serve with the kids who are in kindergarten through grade 5. Each group has one classroom leader and one classroom helper. After all grade school kids finish the large group time, they break into smaller groups in the classrooms and engage with the lesson through activities.
Preschool
Work with the age 2’s, 3’s or 4’s in the preschool! Classrooms consist of a teacher and classroom helpers. Play with the little ones, read through the Bible story with them, and help them make their crafts.
Nursery
Cuddle babies ages 6 months to 24 months. Play and snuggle – that’s all we ask!
Imagine Supportive Care (Downes Road only)
During the Sunday morning services, the Imagine ministry serves the families of Northview who have children with special needs. Hang out with some amazing kids, supervise play, and reinforce Biblical truths in the lives of the kids. Serve in imagine or in a Northview Kids Classroom as a one on one leader!
Serve outside of a classroom!
Welcome/Registration Team
Welcome families as they check in their children and assist first time families as they create a new account with our Check Ins system. Help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere as families arrive, and then head to the service!
Security/Hall Monitor
The Hall Monitor ensures children’s safety as they go from large group session to their classrooms, and keeps an eye on and assists either the preschool/nursery area or the grade school area during the service, as well as accompanies kids to and from washrooms.
Set up and Tear Down
Our Facilities teams are what allow us to do what we do every Saturday and Sunday at East Abbotsford and Central Abbotsford. If you don’t mind coming early before the service, set up is for you! Or, if you’re happy to stick around after, tear down is the team to be on. Better yet – make it a family affair and put your kids to work. When it comes to tear down, it’s always “the more the merrier”!
Serve behind the scenes!
Weekday Ministry Prep Team
Help us during the week by setting up, tidying, and cleaning our weekend ministry spaces! Everything from doing nursery laundry, to reflling snack tubs, to refilling staplers! Serve weekly or bi-weekly, we’ll take all the help we can get!
Craft Prep Team
Help us during the week by preparing crafts for our weekend services and other projects. Cutting, counting, packing, and tracing! Show up and we’ll get crafting with you! Either come to us, or we will send you home with crafting materials!
Special Events
Throughout the year, Northview Kids hosts a variety of special events for kids and families of Northview, ranging from Lego Nights to Family Movie Nights. Help out with set up and take down, serving food, helping to run tech and media or help with check ins during the event!
