Volunteer in Children's Ministry

This year more we had than 350 volunteers invested in over 800 kids. Will you join us in growing up the next generation for Christ? We are looking for men and women of all ages who are excited to partner with our parents and influence the spiritual journey of the kids in our community. What will you do this coming year to make a difference in the lives of kids in our community?

Ready to Serve?

Wheaton Bible Church has your child's best interest at heart, which is why we carefully screen all volunteers who work with children. We are always looking for caring people interested in sharing the love of Jesus Christ with children.
