Northwest Kids

From the start Northwest has been modeled after the basic blueprint for the Church given to us in the Bible.  We believe that the New Testament not only describes how the early church got started, but it also prescribes how we are to function and operate today. For example, in 1 Cor. 12, the human body is used as an analogy to describe how each member of a healthy church is to be valued and needed.  In addition, Acts 2 describes the attitude of the early church as members made great sacrifices to serve each other and meet the needs of a growing church.  Likewise, we want to duplicate a similar culture so that every member feels valued, needed, and personally responsible for the health and growth of Northwest.  As the needs of a growing church fluctuate, we anticipate sharing specific needs with you and then watching as God uses our individual gifts and talents to meet those needs. 

Recently Cassi Luka, our Children’s Director, sent a letter out to all the parents with children involved in Northwest Kids. Cassi reminded us that over the past three years the children’s ministry has grown from only 1 child when we first launched to now averaging 20 – 25 children each Sunday morning.  Cassi and her team of leaders who consist of Keslyn Erb, Michelle Sanders, and Jennifer Powers have done an amazing job at adapting to the growth and staying focused on the vision of discipling children and equipping parents.   

Ideally a growing ministry of this size requires 23 adult volunteers each serving one Sunday per month. However, Northwest Kids currently has only 15 adult volunteers on the rotation.  Beginning on Sunday, May 5 the key areas of need for the children’s ministry will be:

• Nursery (Birth - Walking)
• Toddler (1 - 3 Year Olds)
• Early Elementary (PreK - 2nd Grade)
• Hall Monitors

As you can see, Northwest Kids needs 8 additional volunteers in order to meet the needs of a growing children’s ministry.  Over the next few days, please prayerfully consider if you would be willing to serve in this important area in the life of Northwest.
