How YOU Can Help

What Students Need From Caring Adults

Changing the youth world happens one student at a time. Students do not connect to programs; they connect to people. The most effective way to influence students is through significant relationships with key people in their lives. Our goal is to develop leaders who minister to students.

Students need adults who will:

• Love God and live for Him
• Be genuinely interested in their lives
• Take initiative to spend time with them
• Pray for them
• Be real
• Say encouraging words
• Believe in them
• Laugh
• Go to “their world”
• Remember their names and care for and about them
• Share God’s love through personal experience
• Be consistent to the programs and attendance
• Be patient
• Enjoy life

How to be involved in Student’s lives

We will later explain the application process, but first it is important for you to understand what commitment we ask from our staff. For effective ministry with students, you need to:

• Understand the Purpose and Planned Values of our ministry. Take a look at the values and goals that make our youth ministry effective in reaching & caring for students.
• Commit to a specific job or program. Consider the role for which God has specifically made you. What is your “SHAPE” in His great plan and how does it fit into this youth ministry in order to help build relationships with students.(we will help you figure this one out if you don’t know for sure)
• Grow as a minister. Leaders are learners. Develop your personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the ministry He has called you to, which will ultimately influence students.
