One of the greatest things that I have seen in working with
kids ministry volunteers is the undeniable value of teen volunteers. There is
something about the passion they have and seeing their own Christian life being
walked out and glorifying the Lord. 1 Timothy 4:12 says “Don’t let anyone look
down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in
speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” Our teenage volunteers at
Valley Family Church do exactly that. They get down on the level of the kids
they are serving and meet them where they are. They get in the game and are
certainly not spectators. The let their love of the Lord shine through all of
the things they do. I would go as far as to say some of the greatest volunteers
and even leaders in Kids Ministry here at VFC are teens. Their hearts are right
and they "get it!" In return they help the kids to get it! If you are not using
teens you certainly need to tap into this priceless resource. You won’t regret
it!
