Becoming an OWL facilitator is a
beautiful opportunity to serve in our
church community. Training is offered
in one of two formats – either a weekend
workshop or an online option.
The online course consists of 20 hours
of synchronous (live, on camera) plus
10-15 hours of reading/webinar viewing/
written exercises. Both formats are
funded by our Board of Children, Teens,
and Families. Facilitators complete
background checks before interacting
with church youth and the program
is overseen by our Pastor of Children
and Families. To get information on
how to become an OWL Facilitator, to
enroll your child in upcoming OWL
classes, to share the teachings with
your child at home, or to learn more
information about OWL at Plymouth
Church, contact Pastor Melody Webb at
(mwebb@plymouthchurch.com).
OWL Program Goals for All Ages:
1. Provide accurate, developmentally
appropriate information.
2. Increase self-esteem and
understand relationships with and
responsibilities toward others.
3. Develop interpersonal skills
including communication, decision
making, and problem solving.
4. Teach responsibility for personal
health and safety.
Baptisms, Bibles, Confirmation,
Prayer Shawls, Blessings and Sexuality
Education. What a wonderful church
home we have, where we are here for each
beautiful and sometimes awkward life
stage for the children of the church and
for you too.
Like OWL, our Children, Teens,
and Families Ministries rely on
volunteers to ensure our programs
are successful. Right now, we’re
looking for adults and teens to share
their gifts and talents to support
our Children’s Ministry. We need
volunteers for Vacation Bible School
this summer, for Church School and
in the nursery. Adults and teens are
encouraged to sign-up through the
QR codes below.
