Lead exists to equip the next generation. Students will be provided leadership training and opportunities to apply what they learn by serving within the Middle School ministry and beyond.
The purpose of Middle School Lead is to glorify God by leading students into a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ through their thoughts, words, actions, and attitudes. Student leadership has kingdom impact. The fact of the matter is that students can have a great impact on the lives within their church and community.
What does being on the Middle School Lead team look like?
Students involved in Lead will have an additional level of involvement in the Middle School Ministry and opportunity to build greater community with their peers.
The entire Lead team meets once a month from September to April from 6:30 – 7:30 pm on Sunday nights along with attending orientation during the month of August or September. These are special times to build community with the team! During this time, we provide experiential training and equipping, encouragement, and spiritual accountability.
Students on ministry teams (worship and tech) will meet for additional training specific to building these skills and serve at a time determined by your leader. For example, if you are serving in Tech for Link, you will meet about an hour before Link starts on Friday nights. If you are on worship, you will meet during the week to rehearse.
All Lead team students will be expected to serve at Link and Life with welcome, set up, and clean up including those that are on tech and worship unless you are scheduled to serve on your ministry team.
Note: Students who audition and become a part of the worship band rehearse weekly. They are still expected to attend the monthly Lead meetings.
