[ Essential Functions ]

TEACHING l FACILTATING The Kids Ministry at SCG uses Orange Curriculum, a vibrant and relevant resource that allows each coordinator to customize how they teach the Bible every weekend to fit the developmental and spiritual needs of their students. Coordinators use the curriculum and their unique teaching style to prepare their rooms, volunteers, and small group leaders to be successfully and safely reaching their students during each of the three weekend services. To help with transition the 4^th/5^th Coordinator will also be tasked with speaking once a month in the JHM Ministry at Tuesday Night Service.

TRANSITIONING l JHM One of the primary purposes of the 4^th/5^th Coordinator is to help the 5^th grade kids transition to the JHM.
