ParentServe Team

We are asking that one parent/guardian from each household serve one Sunday, one service, once every 8 weeks. We have divided the year into six cycles reflecting these eight-week rotations. We’re asking one parent or guardian to serve once each cycle.   

ParentServe begins August 2023.

Regular classroom leaders and volunteers will continue to run and organize classrooms. Members of the ParentServe team will primarily be expected to provide supervision, assistance, and most of all, a loving and fun environment.   However, if you are interested in serving in a more consistent role as a classroom leader, please contact us at [email protected].

We encourage you to sign up early each cycle to ensure you are able to select a date, time, and classroom that is most convenient for you and your family. During online registration you will be able to choose one service time, one Sunday, within the eight-week cycle. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences on service times and classrooms – whether you want to serve in a classroom, with your own children or serve in another age-group. We ask for some flexibility on your part so that all our classrooms are always appropriately staffed.

We know things come up, especially as parents with young children. We are happy to work with you. All we ask is that you work with our Abundant Life Kids staff to reschedule your ParentServe slot for another time slot during the eight-week rotation.  

Yes, we’re asking one parent or guardian of each family checking-in children 4 and under, to serve with ParentServe. Please work with the ParentServe Coordinator to ensure your parent and ministry serve times are compatible.

If you already serve within another area of Abundant Life Kids Ministry, THANK YOU! You may continue serving in that role so that we can offer all our kids a safe, fun, and consistent ministry experience.

We highly value safety and security, and that doesn’t change with ParentServe. We continue to ensure that every class is fully staffed to provide the correct ratios of adult-to-child protocols for excellent learning experiences and a safe and secure environment.

Our safety protocols for Abundant Life Kids do not change. Every ParentServe volunteer must pass a background check and go through training. We will also continue to observe and vet all serve volunteers to ensure our safety standards are met.

Abundant Life reserves the right to remove any adult from serving with children if we feel it is in the best interest of our children. Staff and Abundant Life Kids leaders will continue to oversee every classroom.

We’re glad you are here! First-time guests and visitors who have attended less than six times in the last year can visit the first-time guest trailer and check-in their children at Abundant Life Kids. Once a family has utilized our Early Years Ministry more than six times, we will ask them to participate in ParentServe.
