Ignite Shaler Area would not be possible without our core team members who give of their time to help love and lead our young people closer to Christ. We are always looking for more adult core team members to help us with our ministry!
REQUIREMENTS: Must love God, love teenagers, and have a willingness and desire to bring the two together. All core team members must go through all state and diocesan clearances before taking part in any youth ministry event or program and be approved by the youth minister.
What do our Core Team members do?
The Ignite EGM Youth Ministry core team members help out with the various youth programs and events that we have here at the parish assisting with setup and takedown, leading small group conversations, overseeing activities, chaperoning field trips, and INVESTING in the youth. It is our philosophy that the faith is more often caught than taught. Our goal is to have a ministry that is relational. Getting to know the youth, their hopes and dreams, and their struggles is an important part of ministry.
Volunteer youth ministers do the bulk of the ministry, investing in the lives of young people and companioning them as a mentor and friend. We also need a lot of help with logistics and "behind the scenes" stuff as well, so if working directly with youth isn't your thing there are still plenty of ways to get involved and help us out!
If you would like more information about joining , please take a look at Information Packet under "Documents" to the left and contact Jonah through the website here or at youthministry@stbonaventureparish.org.
