As a VBS volunteer, you are what helps makes this ministry successful. Your investment of time and energy into the lives of our children can have a
huge impact. Their perception of Christ and appropriate behavior is seen through your actions and words. Their outlook on life and their current
situation is influenced greatly by your words of encouragement, affirmation, and love. In order to maintain a successful program, there are a few
Volunteer expectations to help you be effective in your personal ministry and to aid in the collective ministry of Granite Hills Baptist Church:
• Be aware that you are a Christian mentor/role model, and all behavior, attitudes, and actions must exemplify Godly character.
• You must arrive at least 10 minutes before 6:00 for a time of prayer and information. Remain briefly after 8:00 and help clean up or prepare areas
for the next day (as needed)
• You must be willing to help with lesson time (if asked).
• You must exhibit the highest Christian ethical standards and personal integrity including modest and appropriate clothing.
• Share concerns about suspicious or inappropriate behavior with the VBS Director or any Safety Team Member or Pastor.
Lastly, all Volunteers will not:
• Engage in personal conversations during any time of teaching—Please excuse yourselves for these activities.
• Be on your phone during any time of teaching—Please excuse yourselves for these activities.
• Smoke or use tobacco products in the presence of participants.
• Use, possess, or be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Use profanity in the presence of participants.
If you are 18 and older, you must have a completed background check on file with Granite Hills Baptist Church.
(If you have never volunteered with our children's ministry before, or if you turned 18 since the last time you volunteered, then you probably don't have one.)
When filling positions, I will always do my best to accommodate everyone's preferences, but I appreciate your flexibility to be used wherever needed.
