To have a strong youth ministry, you have to have strong student leaders.  In 2010 there will be 3 main groups of student leaders (or at least student leaders with defined roles.)

  1. We will have 2 key student leaders.  They will hold several responsibilities and they will be leaned on a great deal to find out how we can better our ministry from a students point of view.  We will have one student of each gender.  Our student leaders for 2010 are Mike Hodge and Rachel Cook.
  2. Our worship planning team is made up of 3-5 students who are always on the team, and 2-3 spots that will be filled by other students on a time to time basis.  These students will plan our Wednesday Night services, games played, songs sang, sermon series taught, etc.  This team is vital to making our worship services relevant to our students.
  3. Praise Team – Our praise team will be made up of 2 adults, 2-3 student vocalists, and a few student instrumentalists.  They will be responsible for leading us in worship through music on Wednesday Nights.

I am really excited to to see how God uses our student leaders in 2010 to impact the lives of everyone around them.
