Nursery Caregivers

Cuddle newborns, smash playdough with toddlers, and sing songs with preschoolers! Nursery Coordinators and Preschool Leaders guide the morning (and handle all diaper changes and any meltdowns) while you enjoy all the joy and energy of our youngest churchgoers! Get to know other adults and youth as you serve together, read stories, help with crafts, and participate in fun Bible activities. Serve 1-2 times per month with flexible scheduling. Email the Nursery Director: stacey.urbanz@firstfreechurch.org

Creekside Kids Bible Time (Sunday mornings)

Join the Creekside Sunday team as a greeter, assistant leader in a classroom, or hang with the babies or preschoolers. If you love kids, we have a place for you to serve. Our elementary kids love buddies and you could jump into a classroom on a regular or semi-regular schedule to assist the classroom leader. Creekside could use leaders during the Community Hour and during the Worship Hour. Contact Carrie Boyum at carrie.boyum@firstfreechurch.org for more information and details.

Creekside Clubs (Wednesdays)

Clubs are for kids in first-fifth grade and meet on Wednesday nights from September-April. Boys and girls are divided by age and gender and have leaders who invest in them on a regular basis. Join the Club team and be a greeter, game leader, classroom leader, service project assistant, supply organizer, or help with security. Interested or want more information? Contact Carrie Boyum at carrie.boyum@firstfreechurch.org.

Creekside events

We have fun special events throughout the year, such as the Advent Festival, Creekside Family Party, Creekside Family Hikes, Retreat46 at Shamineau, and Vacation Bible Camp. Jump into the fun and be on a team to help organize an event, help with supplies, work in the kitchen, be a photographer, hang out with kids, and physically set-up and clean-up events. There is a place for everyone to serve! For more information on how you can serve, contact Carrie Boyumat carrie.boyum@firstfreechurch.org.

Velocity Student Ministry

Velocity is the name of our grades 6-12 student ministry. If you feel called to work with teens and preteens and to help disciple them in the stage of life where they are discovering who they are and need consistent, dependable role models, then this is for you! Right now we are looking for people who would be interested in getting involved in small groups or joining the Sunday morning teaching time and becoming a part of that teaching rotation. If any of this is of interest to you, or if you are interested in getting involved but aren’t quite sure how, then contact Pastor Jake at jake.weikel@firstfreechurch.org

MomCo childcare

You can support MomCo (formerly MOPS) by joining if you are a mom, telling your neighbors and family about us, providing a scholarship for a mom to join MomCo, or by volunteering in KidsCo. KidsCo is a preschool style nursery and childcare for our MomCo meetups. Neither would be possible if it were not for our VolunteerCo. Come be a part of ours!

Are you an experienced mom with the time to invest in young moms? Be a mom mentor and come hang out, listen, laugh, pray, and share your experience! Contact Jeanine Bruen at momco@firstfreechurch.org.
