This is truly a cooperative effort in that every family shares some level of responsibility to ensure the success of For the Kingdom.  A high level of parent participation is expected. Parents are required to serve on campus two or more Mondays a month. Volunteer hours are based on a Point System (4 points per Semester) which reflects the contribution of the various roles. These will be reviewed as part of registration with the Volunteer Coordinator. Each role is approximately equivalent to half a day every Monday, or a full day every other Monday. 

For families with extenuating circumstances, we do offer a few offsite positions and/or other service opportunities. We will, as much as possible, honor your preferences and schedule.

You are not required to be on campus when you are not serving.

NOTE: Only 1 adult per family needs to serve regardless of how many students you have enrolled.  Just a few of the roles may be performed by older, responsible high school students on behalf of their families.
