YOUTH LEADERS
Become a small group leader for 2025-26!
We’re looking for adult and student leaders to help guide small groups in our Christian education programs. As a leader, you'll walk alongside students in their faith journey — building relationships, encouraging growth, and serving as a Christian mentor within our church family. We’re asking YOU to consider stepping into this important role.
There are opportunities to work with ages 3 to Grade 12 this year! It's a one-hour commitment each week on either Wednesdays or Sundays. Thank you for considering!
