HM.KIDS TEAM

What does Kids Church look like at HM?

HM Kids Team! Our purpose is to disciple the next generation, guiding them into a deep and lasting relationship with Jesus.

In our dedicated space, we are actively shaping the future of the church. If your love for Jesus is matched by your care for kids, we're calling you to explore the powerful ways you can contribute to our team.

Prepare for moments of laughter, connection, and the profound satisfaction of investing in young lives for eternity.

WHY IS KIDS CHURCH SO IMPORTANT?

  • Knowing Jesus

    It's the primary place where kids are introduced to Jesus, His love, and the basics of Christianity, helping them build a personal relationship with Him.

  • Future Church

    Today's kids are the future of the church. Kids church teaches them about community, service, and being part of a faith family, equipping them for leadership and involvement later on.

  • Safe Growth

    It provides a supportive and secure environment where children can explore their faith, ask questions, and grow spiritually with the guidance of caring adults

Hi ! I'm Debora Jamieson, and I have the privilege of serving as the Kids Pastor here at HM! My heart is to see our kids connect with God in meaningful ways, and I'd absolutely love to connect with you about anything related to our kids’ church – questions, ideas, or just a chat.

FAQs

  • When you're working with the kids, it's all about finding that sweet spot between feeling comfy enough to move around and being mindful of dressing modestly.

    Since we've got our cool team t-shirts, that part's easy for showing we're the Kids Church crew!

    So, think comfy clothes that let you get down on their level, while also setting a good example of dressing respectfully. That way, you can really focus on connecting with the kids and having a great time together

  • HM.KIDS rostering system runs via the Elvanto app.
    Make sure you are familiar with the App and include the dates of your unavailability.
    When you see your roster, submit whether you can or cannot make it in advance, and find someone to swap with you. The app has a feature that will find a replacement from someone on the Team.
    It is fundamental for this role to let us know with anticipation of the dates that you are available or not available for the Sundays.

  • Hey! So glad to have you joining the team! You'll get your awesome team t-shirt once you decide to hop on board officially.

    Our welcome process is pretty laid-back. For the first two or three Sundays, you'll hang out in the room with one of our leaders. They'll show you the ropes of how Kids Church runs, so you can get comfy with everything and start getting to know the team – we're a friendly bunch!

    After that, just let us know which area you feel most comfortable helping out in. We definitely don't want to overwhelm you! You can start by simply helping to keep an eye on the kids. But if you're feeling confident and keen, you can totally volunteer to lead prayer, story time, games, or activities whenever you're ready. We're just happy to have you!

  • Our team where we strive for excellence in all we do – and that starts with you! We're seeking a joyful and energetic individual who's excited to have fun while guiding kids in their understanding of God.

    If you're a team player who's keen to learn, contribute fresh ideas, and serve with a smile, we encourage you to apply! We're dedicated to supporting your development with ongoing feedback and opportunities to grow.

  • We're eager to hear your creative ideas for kids' church! If you have exciting projects, suggestions, or experience making faith engaging for young hearts, please share them with us. Your contributions are vital in helping us effectively lead and inspire our kids, and we'd be deeply honoured to learn from your perspective and passion.
