Non believer serving in Kids Ministry
Hi! I am 1 year into my role as Kids Coordinator at my church and I just had my first application come in to serve in kids ministry who is not a believer. They believe a lot of the core beliefs of the faith and have a strong desire to raise their children in the faith. She says that she just isn't quite there yet when it comes to her faith but she desires to. Our pastor just did a sermon on serving and she said she has a better understanding of serving and wants to use her love for kids to serve in kids. Have others encountered this? How did you navigate it?

In my experience at two different churches in the last 10 years, I've found that in this specific time, there are a lot of parents who are deconstructing and reconstructing their faith, while wanting to give their children the foundation of faith and a church community. They often are reluctant to serve because they're not sure of all that they believe. But I am reminded of the disciples who were actually living and following Jesus, and unsure of their faith and beliefs but desired to be near Jesus. I also have a lot of families who have recently left the LDS faith, and are relearning their Christian faith in a new community. (A lot of the same words, but different meanings). I've found that having these folks in children's ministry is such a beautiful discipleship area. So I tend to partner them with a solid teacher who is pastoral in nature. These folks have had so much growth and beauty because of the time they spend reading Children's Bibles, and having the gospel broken down into simple terms. The Holy Spirit is so faithful to continue the work that is going on in their hearts, so I tend to meet them where they are at, and come alongside their journey.
