Ambassadors
Made up of two men, two women, and an accompanist, this team is committed to proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ through musical concerts and through testimony of what God has done in their lives.
Cornerstone, Joshua, Foundation, Covenant, Jeremiah
Each of these teams, composed of two men and two women, travel to churches throughout the AFLC, ministering to children and family through VBS. Occasionally, the teams serve as dorm room leaders as well.
Request a Team
Each team member goes through an application and interview process before they are called to serve on a team. The final team selections will be announced at the beginning of February. Team schedules are finalized mid-March. Itineraries typically become complete and public at the end of March or beginning of April.
- Summer Team Requests will open December 15th and are due February 1st. To request a team, fill out the Request Form online. Forms are due February 1st, 2019.
- To help us in the scheduling process, please include at least three possible dates/weeks that would work for your church to host a team. If your church or camp is open to any week, please indicate that. We will notify you when we have found a week that works best for both the team and the church, and we will confirm the date with you then.
Cost/Suggested Donation: $1350 for a summer team to minister for one week. $1900 ($950 per congregation) where there are two congregations and two Vacation Bible Schools in one week. For Ambassador concerts, we ask for a free-will offering to be taken at the concert.
Team Training: All summer team members enroll in a practical Children’s Ministry training class throughout the Spring semester that prepares them for Summer ministry. All students also participate in an intensive summer ministry training week during the final week of May as well.
Team Availability: Teams are available from June 2, 2019, through August 9, 2019.
VBS Materials: We will be using Roar VBS 2019 by Group with lessons from AFLC Ambassador Publications.

Does the team provide its own transportation?
Yes. Churches are asked to provide host families for the team. Typically, male team members stay in one home and female members stay in another home. We ask that the host families provide a positive, clean, and safe living environment for the team.
Are we responsible for housing the team?
Yes. Churches are asked to provide host families for the team. Typically, male team members stay in one home and female members stay in another home. We ask that the host families provide a positive, clean, and safe living environment for the team.
Are we responsible for meals for the team?
Yes. We ask that the church provide meals for the team throughout the week, whether it’s meals provided in host homes, meals hosted at the church, or meals hosted by various congregation members. This usually is a highlight of the team’s stay and an enjoyable experience for host churches.
How do you recommend dividing age group/classes?
Typically, students are divided into four groups: Pre-school and Kindergarten; 1st and 2nd grade; 3rd and 4thgrade; and 5th and 6th grade. Each team member will be responsible for teaching one age group. For churches with very large VBS programs (75 or more kids), we recommend these groups to be further divided and for the church to provide additional teachers.
Who is in charge of crafts?
Churches are responsible for providing craft supplies. It is recommended that the church also provide a craft leader. The team will be available for assisting the craft leader. In the absence of a craft leader, team members can lead the craft time, provided they have proper instructions and supplies.
Who is in charge of games?
Our teams will be fully trained to lead game time for the kids. However, if churches decide to provide their own game leader, the team members will be more than willing to participate and help the game leader.
