Love God? Love Students? Want to be part of the exciting things god is doing through our

Student Ministry? We are in need of additional people to partner with us in making a differ-

ence in the lives of teenagers! (Note: We have a ton of fun and no, you are not too old!)

Please check out the opportunities below and contact Jeanne for more information or to fill

the need.

Life Group Leaders - These awesome adults lead a small group of students of the same

grade/gender on Sunday nights during the school year. All materials and training are provid-

ed. You will have direct impact in connecting with students sharing God’s Word, sharing your

story, and sharing life together.

FUEL Leaders—These incredible people help lead/facilitate Bible study on Wednesday

nights from 6:00 - 7:00 (hang time is from 5:30 - 6:00 pm). Students are separated into MS/

HS groups. Adults are needed to help teach, lead, share and keep students focused.

5th BLOCK Sidekick - Do you like to hang out with students? Do you enjoy ping pong, bil-

liards or card games? Could you encourage someone midweek? Come make a difference

one afternoon a week during 5th Block! On Wednesdays from 3:30 - 5:00 pm you can build

relationships, conversations and memories simply by being available. No lesson plan, no

teaching and no prep!

Confirmation Mentor/Friend in Faith - Share your faith journey with a teen on a quest to

discover theirs! Mentors meet with one confirmand over the course of the confirmation year

to share their own faith and experiences.

Youth Choir - We are in need of a keyboardist for the soon-to-be-resurrected Youth Choir!

Choir will meet on Sundays@ 5:00 pm. (We have a director! :)

Food Crew - work on a team of 4-5 other parents to help provide/serve dinner to your youth

at MERGE. Teams will not serve more than twice during the school year.
