Greeters serve once a month on Sunday morning to insure our guests and members are welcomed and informed.  Greeters hand out bulletins, provide directional information and offer assistance as needed.  A Greeter’s most important task is making certain that we can honestly say NorthRidge is a place Where Friends Become Family. A friendly attitude is all that is required.

Welcome Center Hosts serve once a month on Sunday morning to insure our guests and members are welcomed and informed.  The Welcome Center hosts consist of 2 people (1 male and 1 female) that are informed of the events, classes, and happening within the church. They are responsible for answering questions of visitors and members, communicating with the Church office any guest needs, collecting contact information on guests and distributing handouts. This team also acts as security during the worship services by remaining at the welcome desk for the entire service and walking the parking and children’s building for safety checks. This team locks the building at the end of service and assists in shutting off lights and setting alarm. A friendly attitude, willingness to communicate with visitors, and ability to walk to the other buildings to escort visitors is required.

Children’s Sunday School Hosts are needed during the Sunday School hour (9:20-10:20 AM). This volunteer will remain at the front Check-In Desk area in the Community Center to greet and assist families checking kids in as they arrive.  A smiling face and minimal computer skills are needed.

Volunteers in Preschool (VIP) serve during the Worship Service (8:45am-10:30am) or (10:30 AM – 12:30 PM) once a month with children ages newborn-4ys.  During this time, VIP will review/read the Bible lesson for the day and engage kids in play time either in the classroom or on the playground.  Sharing God’s love through serving the children and their families is the key to what we do in preschool ministry. 

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a week-long event for children K-5th grade to grow and learn about God and His Word in fun and exciting ways.  Biblical truths are taught through music, crafts, lessons, missions, and large group worship service.  This is a great way to get involved in children’s ministry as there are many different types of opportunities available.

AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) is for children ages 3 (must be potty trained) to 6th grade and takes place each Wednesday night, 6:30-8:00 PM. Volunteers are needed to listen to children recite memory verses, help with games and assist where needed.  An encouraging attitude and a desire to help kids grow in their knowledge of God and His Word are needed.
