Expectations of a Volunteer
The primary role of a Ministry Leader is to develop authentic Christ-sharing relationships with lost teens in order to help them see, hear, understand, and respond to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to help you be as effective as possible as you relationally invest in students and share the hope of Jesus. We believe a commitment of 2-5 hours will help you develop a more consistent presence in kids’ lives that will lead to greater trust and greater ministry opportunities.
