Kids Ministry Jobs
Hi Everyone, Sorry for all the questions I am pretty new and still trying to figure it all out. Iam also currently doing everything myself. I do have a part time staff person who only does the schedule and a few odds and ends and helps me with events and it is becoming to much for me. You all talk about different job titles within Kids Ministry for voluteers. I hear Check-In, leads, coaches, what other positions are there? Where can I find information on each of their purposes so that I can make our own Job Descriptions for the positions we might need for our ministry and see what fits our needs in kids ministry. I have googled a few but there are so many, I just was curiouse what you all use when you are a small church and their purpose.

Pinterest has a ton of ideas with special sayings tags to match but this is what we have done. 1. I have made homemade sugar scrubs 2. Holidays are Homemade Vanilla 3. Travel size hand lotions with tags 4. Journal and Pen 5. Devotional books or prayer books with journal and pen 6. Water Cups with a kids ministry saying and their names cricuted on them 7. Trainings- small treat bags filled with hot coco, mini candy canes, and a piece of chocolate, or handlotion, lip balm, chocolate, or a new t-shirt 8. Volunteers of the month get gift bags with devotionals, prayer books, journals, pens, coffee mug with chocolate inside or small sample bag of coffee or whatever we have on hand but making sure it is different they what they normally get or a gift card for a lunch our or coffee at Starbucks or their favorite coffee shop 9. pocket crosses with a pocket prayer 10. I make Disciple crosses keychains and each volunteer got one for volunteering for VBS 11. Gift cards for Starbucks, lunch, or their favorite place to shop. 12. Options are truly versital and they appreciate it all so you cannot go wrong if you put love and attention to it.

Summer in Kids Ministry
What camps do you do in the summer in your kids ministry if you don't do a traditional VBS?

We are taking our middle schoolers to camp this year. Last year we did VBS, Art summer camp, sports camp, adventure camp, and water camp. These camps were for our ages 3-12 years of age.

New Family Check-In's
Hi Everyone, I would like to hear how you all do your new family check in process. We are a small church, we have two regualr family check-in I-Pads and one i-Pad for new families. Sometime it takes 15 minutes to get them all entered into Planning Center depending on how many members of the household you have to enter. When there is another new family waiting in line it makes it tough to get them checked in quickly and show them to their rooms. We have one lead that helps check in new families by collecting and imputting them in the system, we have one volunteer who helps with regular check in's. I know for bigger churches it is easier but would still love to hear ideas. For those with smaller churches how to do manage this? Thank you for your help.

@Rachel Orf Yes, we have the phone on our tablet and we have tried filling out the form. It just take so long and we are trying to find a way that won't take so long and to simplify it for the visitors.
