Expectations of Student Ministry Leaders
Please check each expectation, signifying that you agree to uphold it to the best of your abilities.
*
Live a life of worship to Jesus; having a personal and thriving relationship with Jesus! All we do is for Jesus ultimately, so we want to encourage the most important part of serving is Who we serve!
A huge emphasis in youth group is bible-teaching. We expect you to have a proficient, working knowledge of the Bible and regularly study it as we all collectively strive to learn more about Jesus together.
Be student-focused during youth group gatherings.
Communicate in advance of any known upcoming absences (at least 1 day ahead).
As an adult presence, you will have authority to lovingly correct and steer students. We rely on your supervision as there are many students to care for.
If students express any form of self-harm, harm to others, abuse, neglect, illegal substance/weapon possession, or anything that is a cause for serious concern, you are mandated to inform a youth pastor.
Consistency in serving! Flakey-ness of leaders can negatively affect a student’s understanding of love, leadership, and sometimes of God. Your presence (or lack of) is very influential on a young student’s life.
Live a life above reproach (Not privately or openly endorsing sin via lifestyle, conduct, social media, etc.) Living a Christian life can be challenging, so if you find yourself struggling with life-dominating sin, please seek help from your youth pastor or other spiritual mentors.
Should you have issues with leaders (staff or volunteers), we expect you to follow the model of Matthew 18:15-20 to effectively address issues and seek restoration.
Regularly meet with a spiritual mentor. If you currently don’t have one, please be prayerfully seeking one.
You will be required to complete a background check. This scan will be repeated every 2 years.
What You Can Expect From Your Youth Pastor:
*
Pastoral Care. We care for your own personal soul as well as students. If you need spiritual guidance, you can receive care and counsel from us. We will strive to help guide you as you continue to follow Jesus.
You are not required to pay for youth costs out of your pocket. Any events requiring fees or admission will typically be paid for unless you choose to pay out of your own volition.
An Order of Service (OOS) will be sent weekly so you can be prepared for each youth service. Your weekly role will be stated on these.
Youth pastors will send resources and reading material periodically to help enrich your own spiritual life as well as how to better effectively serve the youth.
If you currently don’t have a spiritual mentor, we will try to aid in connecting you with potential mentors.
Background Check
I understand that in order to serve in the Youth Ministry at Calvary Nexus a background check will be required.
