Middle School and/or High School Youth Leader
Students are growing up in a crazy world. They need caring adults to come alongside them as they navigate through their formative years of middle school and high school. Youth Leaders are committed to continually engage with students in the life and mission of Jesus. Simply put—they pursue Jesus together.
Youth Leaders participate in:

Special Event Helper
A big part of youth ministry is special events. Whether it’s a Blazer game in Portland or a BBQ in the church lawn, our special events sometimes require a bit of extra help. Preparing food, shuttling students, or simply being an extra set of eyes are some low-challenge areas of occasional service.
Prayer Partner
Prayer is essential for effective ministry and the more prayer, the better. As a Prayer Partner, we would ask that you are intentional about praying for our students, for our leaders, and for our ministry. Monthly Mail Chimps will be sent out highlighting our current needs and prayer requests.
