Join the KidZONE team as we reach kids' hearts for Jesus
and inspire them to be His world changers!

 In the KidZone, volunteers put their best foot forward as they serve with their God given strengths and gifts. Whatever time you have to give, we encourage you to jump in: Weekly---Bi-Monthly---Quarterly

Volunteers are uniquely gifted so we encourage you to visit various classes before jumping in with both feet. We will connect you with a coordinator that can assist you in finding a place to serve that is a good match. To connect: Call the KidZone office at 344-1203, ext. 133 Email WaysideChapel.org/KidZone
