You can make a difference in the lives of others, just like Jesus!
God created you, yes you, with unique abilities and aptitudes to build His Kingdom. Serving is the best way to discover the gifts He's given and connect with others who'll be blessed by them We have opportunities to use your personality, passions, skill set and even your schedule to help others find real life in Jesus and look more like Him every day... just like someone else has done for you!

Kid's Ministry at Real Life is separated into two groups:
-Little Lifers - birth to 2 years old
-Life Kids - 3yrs to 5th grade - this group is further separated into PreK/K and 1-5 grades
Kid's Ministry at Real Life is designed to teach kids about Jesus on their level in a safe, fun environment. Each weeks kids are taught the Bible in creative ways and on a level they understand. They'll build relationships with adult volunteers and their peers. You can serve in Kid's Ministry on a rotation, so you're able to participate in worship on a regular basis and develop a relationship with our kids.
*All Kid's Ministry volunteers must complete a background check and be cleared before serving in this ministry. We appreciate your trust in us and make every effort to keep your child safe while in our care.
Volunteers on our Host Teams specialize in helping people feel welcomed and wanted at Real Life. From the moment a person steps out of their car until the moment they leave, our Host Teams make our regulars and guests feel welcomed and right at home while they are with us. Host Teams offers opportunities to serve before, during and after all our Sunday gatherings.
