Expectations of Student Ministry Leaders

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.
