Small Group Assistant

Do you like to talking to kids and helping them feel comfortable by asking them what they have been up to lately? Do you like to help them learn while playing a game or showing them where to find a verse in the Bible by looking in the index first and discovering it together? If so, then you should check out what a small group leader does! They do all these things, plus encourage kids to look to God for help with their problems and build an authentic faith in Jesus.

• Ask your team leader what the plan is for the class that day and how you can be of assistance, i.e., prepare snack, get out supplies, etc., assist with discipline, and make new children feel welcome and part of the class, so he/she can focus on teaching the class.
• Assist your team leader in keeping order during class activities by sitting with the children, especially those who are new or restless. Encourage each child to participate in all the activities. Listen to their stories – get to know them.
• Ask your team leader if you’re unsure what to do – he/she may not realize that you need some direction and there’s no shame in asking for help – you’re a team!
