Do you have a passion for making a difference in the lives of the next generation? Consider volunteering with our Student Ministry team. As our ministry grows, there are many opportunities to serve!
Sunday PM Event Volunteers
Selected Sundays during the school year, 5:30–7:30 PM
Locations include the CLC/Gym/Fields
- Student Ministry offers a fellowship and outreach event during selected Sunday evening worship services each month. Students participate in a short devotion and enjoy organized games and competitions, usually planned around a fun theme. Responsible adult volunteers help activities run smoothly and monitor crowd control. We need more volunteers to support this fun outreach time!
IGNITE Small Group Leaders
Wednesdays during the school year, 6:30–8:00 PM
In the Calvary Life Center
- In this role, you will guide a weekly conversation with a group of students and help them apply truths from the message at IGNITE. We provide discussion questions beforehand to help you. You’ll need to spend about 30 minutes reviewing the Scripture passages and questions each week. The small group time lasts about 20 minutes. A short training is provided.
Student Life Group Leaders
Sundays year-round, 11:15 AM–12:30 PM
In the Calvary Life Center
- Adults who feel called to disciple students are encouraged to teach a Student Life Group. This role requires an hour or two of preparation each week, studying the curriculum and Bible lessons. Most SLG teaching schedules are set so that leaders may still attend an Adult Life Group regularly. Mandatory training is provided.
In each of these roles, your ministry is to share God's love and model a Christ-transformed life as you care about Calvary students and build relationships with them. The hours you invest will have an eternal impact!
Volunteers must have attended Calvary for at least six months, be Calvary Church members, complete the training and approval process, and pass a background check.
Please let us know if you're interested!
