Easter 2024

Kids Team

At Spring Harvest it’s important to us that our children enjoy lots of activities, including arts and crafts, Bible stories, worship and drama, all of which relate to the theme of the event. Working in small groups under the Programme Leader, you will learn the latest kids’ songs and actions, as well as loads of ideas to take back to your own church. You’ll be interacting with the children, praying with them and may even help a child give their life to Jesus.

Use your experience of working with children and your passion for Jesus to help make an eternal impact on young lives through the programme at Spring Harvest. As well as being over 18 years of age, you will need to be a committed Christian, with age-appropriate experience of working with children in your local church or community.

We run three theme-based programmes for children of different age groups and look for volunteers with age-appropriate experience to work in the following areas:

  • Kids 0-4 - two morning sessions and one afternoon session daily.
  • Kids 5-7 - one full morning session daily, plus possible attendance at The Big Start.
  • Kids 8-11 - one morning session and one early evening session daily.

Please note your participation in the team requires you to be available to attend ALL sessions run for the relevant age groups.
