Ways to serve in Realm Student Ministry
Small group leader: Wednesdays During School Year 6:00-7:15
I. Call- To inspire a small group of students (same sex and grade) to seek, know and love Jesus.
II. Commitment
· Minister to the needs of 5-8 students within a small group
· Help create an environment of community, family, and encouragement within a small group.
· Follow-up on students’ needs throughout the week through letters, phone calls, or personal visitation.
· Challenge small group students to grow in their faith by developing healthy spiritual habits, such as prayer, and quiet times.
· Meet with small group students outside of small group once a month. This is our 10 to 1 policy. When you spend time with students outside of the small group/church environment, it has the same effect as 10 small group meetings or inside church events.
III. Time Commitment Each Week
· 2-3 hours (including preparation for lesson)
· One letter or phone call- 15 minutes
IV. Character
· “Students do not need super group leaders; they need real human beings struggling responsibly in their commitment to carry out God’s call as His children on this earth.”
· Students need leaders who are pursuing an authentic and growing faith in Christ.
· Students need leaders who will pray and rely on God’s power and wisdom to see, hear, and speak to them as Jesus would.
