Join The Dream Team

Here at Accelerate Church, we are passionate about caring for the next generation. Our mission is to help develop leaders who will grow up to impact the world for Jesus. One of the ways that we do this is by creating environments where they can have fun learning about God and His word.

Kids Check-In:  These ACTV Kids Dream Teamers make families feel welcome as they arrive at our check-in station and make sure that the check-in process runs efficiently, effectively and safely.  

Teachers: Teachers lead children into real relationships with Jesus by reading and discussing Bible stories, sharing relevant and engaging video content, and facilitating fun activities for children that deepen their understanding of God and love for Him and His word. They also develop personal relationships with children & families, so families feel safe and secure knowing they are in good hands during the Sunday gathering.

Accelerate Kids Coordinators: Coordinators work alongside the Director to provide oversight and direction, support, training, and leadership for those who serve in ACTV Kids. They help prepare age-appropriate curriculum, oversee the safety and operations processes, develop community within ACTV Kids Dream Teamers, and facilitate learning for Dream Teamers and kids alike to foster spiritual growth.  

Community Life plays an essential role in what we do at ACTV. We strive to love one another, care for one another & grow together as a healthy community of believers by meeting in small gatherings of people (who meet in person or online) to hang out, discuss the sermon and pray together. These are called Crews. This team helps to make sure that happens.  

Crew Leaders: We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. Crews have one simple purpose: to bring people together. God created us to live in community with others, and it is only then that we can experience the full life He intends for us. Choose a topic that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. We give you essential tools to make your Crews successful through Crew Leader Training and a directory where you can register your group so others can find it easily. 

Crew Coaches: They check in with the Crew Leaders (those who are overseeing the crews) to make sure that they are supported and have everything that they need to run a Crew efficiently. They aid in the pastoral care and training for Crew Leaders.  

Crew Admins: Assist the Crew Director with the administrative needs to launch a Crew season. This includes assisting with registration, and data collection. Crew Admins also work hand in hand with the Crew Director to organize, plan, and prepare for Crew Sundays at the beginning of each semester. They work to make sure that these events run smoothly so people are able to get plugged into ACTV.

The Creative Team serves as the medium that bridges the gap between Accelerate Church and its online and offline community. Collectively, the Creative Team consists of a diverse group of innovators, motivators, and disciples of Christ who strive to expand the Kingdom of God via the ministry of Accelerate Church.

These big days are great opportunities to get people plugged into the culture of the Church and create space for us to connect with new people.
