Building a Leadership Team
All leadership positions will be asked to complete the Royal Ranger Basic course which is an 8 hr. training on youth ministry. Training must be completed before you will be appointed to a position.
All applicants will have to pay a $10.00 fee for a background check that is refundable if you are appointed to a position.
Our strategy is to share the ministry so all qualified commanders will be asked to step in from time to time (usually on a voluntary basis) to help with outings, day camps and other activities. This will eliminate a few spending so much time with the program that they reach burnout. This will also allow opportunities for others to participate.
Normal estimated time involved in these positions will be:
- 8 hrs. Youth Ministry Training
- 2 hrs a week in prayer and personal devotion
- 2 hrs a week in planning
- 2 to 4 hrs a week in execution
If you pass up this opportunity to serve the blessings you will pass up are enormous. These kids grow up and grow on you.
