Standards of Excellence in KidVenture Ministries

1. A CHRISTIAN

Our ultimate goal in KidVenture Ministries is to lead kids to Christ, and then help them grow in their Christian life as we partner with parents to reach ‘em, grow ’em and send ‘em. Therefore, our volunteers should have a personal relationship with Christ themselves! If you are unsure about where you stand in your relationship with God, do not hesitate to talk to one of the pastors or KidVenture Directors here at First Alliance Church. We would be delighted to open God’s Word and share with you how you can know for sure that you are saved and a child of God!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.

2. STRIVE TO BE REGULAR in church attendance and involvement. Not only the KidVenture Ministries’ functions, but also the regular worship services and other church events.

Hebrew 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

3. ENCOURAGING IN SPEECH.

Our words should be encouraging, uplifting and positive. There should be no insults, cut-downs, gossip, slander or any talk where someone may be hurt, especially in the presence of children. Humor should reflect a walk with God.

Colossians 4:6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

I Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.

Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

4. AN EXAMPLE IN CHRISTIAN CHARACTER

Because volunteers in our KidVenture Ministries should be examples and a positive influence on the children they minister to, they should be non-smokers and not drink alcoholic beverages as a life-style. In your personal life, you should be committed to Bible study, prayer, and Christ like living.

Titus 2:6-7 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness.

I Corinthians 6:19,20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
