Why Join a Team?

Joining a Rugby Elim team means you get to be part of the bigger picture—serving God’s Kingdom and playing a role in something truly great. When we serve together, we become part of something bigger than ourselves.

Being on a team is a powerful way to use your gifts and help make every part of church life a place where people can encounter God and find real community. It’s also one of the best ways to make friends and build meaningful relationships along the way.

Volunteers help set up and pack down and spend time playing with and caring for children, ensuring their safety. The role also involves engaging positively with parents and carers by offering conversation, encouragement, and support, assisting with refreshments, tidying, and setup, and following safeguarding procedures at all times to ensure the well-being of everyone involved.

Volunteers encourage listening and participation, assist with crafts when needed, accompany children to the toilet, and help manage relationships and resolve disagreements appropriately. The role may also involve supporting a child with additional needs on a one-to-one basis, ensuring their safety and helping them learn about Jesus in a way that best suits them, using the resources provided.
