Engaging the next generation to become everyday Jesus followers

Our goal is to provide a relevant and fun experience for youth while engaging youth in biblical teaching and developing friendships.

A Great Environment is…

COMFORTABLE

• The area is safe and easily accessible

• All activities are clear and helpful

• Hallways and classrooms are uncluttered and open

CLEAN

• Every environment smells clean and fresh

• All areas are neat and in order (e.g., extra boxes out of sight, craft supplies, snacks,)

• Facility is fun and safe. Easy to access all the activities. 

• All volunteers constantly scan the floors for trash and safety

CLEAR

• Directional signage is effective and visible. Every area is clearly marked.

• Volunteers provide clear directions and valuable information so youth feel secure and safe. 

• Volunteers know transition details in order to maintain a smooth flow of service so youth are never caught by surprise. 

Our Youth Team is…

COMMITTED

• They are consistent with attendance and arrive prepared to serve

• They know Youth and Parents by name 

CONTAGIOUS

• Volunteers provide the “WOW” welcome! 

• Volunteers are Fun and Playful 

• The fun and excitement from the youth start with the volunteers 

• With actions! All volunteers are welcoming. They smile, make eye contact, and serve with passion, excitement, and anticipation of what God is going to do through them

CONCIERGES

• Willing to pray with youth, attune to youth emotions. If a youth is sad, they will check in and see how they are doing. 

• Give feedback to parents at pickup (Johnny, was contributing to the conversation. Kelly sang during worship.)
