Serve with FAC Kids
We’re having a baby boom! To meet the growing needs of our Infant Room, we are looking for 12 folks to care for babies once a month during either the 9:30am or 11:00am service.
Want to serve with kids but holding babies isn’t quite your thing? Consider joining our weekly preschool teaching team during the 11:00am service or our once-a-month check-in team. Contact Hannah Meredith for more information.
