Core Team ~ Equipo

Core Team is a group of adult volunteers who collaborate with the youth group coordinators (Nancy Trinidad & Angel Machado, respectively) to run youth group nights smoothly.

Core Team Members can support the ministries in a variety ways- help is needed behind-the-scenes, as well as with working directly with the youth. A Core Member’s most vital role is to be a witness of God’s love by serving and accompanying teens as they explore the Catholic faith and develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your presence is so much more valuable than you might realize! Fruitful youth ministry requires a team of people with diverse gifts and experience levels. You DO NOT need to be a theologian, an entertainer, or the life of the party to help teens know that they are seen, known, and (incredibly) loved by God and called to be in profound, life-changing relationship with him. You DO need a love of Christ and a desire to bring teens closer to him.

A strong Core Team will feature a variety of personalities, talents, and interests.

However, our expectations of all Core Members are that you…

• • • Have a personal commitment to God

    • Make it a priority to attend Mass weekly and pray daily o Are fully initiated in the Catholic faith (Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation), or working toward initiation

    • Believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church (and seek to develop trust in the Church’s wisdom and authority regarding teachings that challenge you)

    • Have a desire to share your faith and positively influence youth

The time commitment for being a Core Member includes:

•  Depends on specific roles

Core team meetings

• Meets on a weekly basis or as needed.  Wednesdays 7-8 pm (depending on the season).

• Spirituality & faith formation: bi-weekly
