No Sunday Night Waffles This Week - Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Join the Worship Tech Team!
We are looking for adults and/or high school students to join the rotation for running Sunday morning media.  Training is provided and the program is not complicated.  If you can click a mouse, you are qualified.  Contact Emily Craven.
Want to join an incredible team of volunteers who are making a difference in the lives of children and youth?

We want to know kids, so kids can know God. 

"Regardless of the style or size of your church, your greatest asset to building faith in the next generation is not your Bible study, worship band, facilities, or budget.The most valuable resources you have to help people see God are the people in your church who know God."

We believe that children and students need to know that they are loved and that they belong before they can really enter into wrestling with abstract concepts like faith, hope, identity, and meaning.

So, we want to give each child and student -a person and a place.

Are you someone who is willing to be that person and help them find that place?  If so, we are looking for adults who are willing to show up weekly in the life of children and teens to make an impact in their lives. (You just might be impacted as well!)

To learn more about how you can be a consistent adult in a child's life, contact Kyle Bender- kyleb@whpc.org

Here are just a few reasons why kids need consistent adults:
  • Preschoolers need a consistent adult because they can be terrified by unfamiliar faces.
  • Elementary kids need a consistent adult because they will tell anything to a stranger.  Imagine the impact a consistent adult can have.
  • Middle schoolers need a consistent adult because nothing else in their life is consistent.
  • High schoolers need a consistent adult because they only trust people who will show up consistently.
Join an incredible and growing team of adults and make a difference in the lives of children and students! Ages 19 - 119 welcome!
