I am always looking for talented ministers to serve in our youth ministry program. I believe that solid ministry is built on relationships between adult staff and teens. Relationships are key to teens feeling loved and accepted so that they can understand the love of God in practical ways. This is when real spiritual growth takes place in a teen’s life. A Youth Ministry like Life Teen requires a substantial team of volunteers working at all levels – from Core members who lead small groups to Life Support who setup environments and serve food. The challenge of our Life Teen Youth Ministry is to access the wealth and diversity of resources within and around the area parishes so as to provide a meaningful and effective faith formation program for younger and older adolescents which engages their energy, imagination, curiosity, compassion and playful spirit in an exploration and engagement of our Catholic faith. Thus, the quality of our youth ministry volunteers is very important.
