Middle School Student Mentor Recommitment

You have done an amazing job of mentoring students, your gifts and dedication have not gone unnoticed.

Why "Mentor"?
The term "mentor" actually more accurately reflects your role in guiding students. It signifies more than just being present for activities and leading conversations; it's about embodying a gospel-centered life and coaching students as apprentices of Jesus.

Our Mission: Presenting Students Mature in Christ
Our mission, deeply rooted in Colossians 1:28-29, focuses on nurturing students' growth in Christ. This includes helping them to connect with Christ, grow in a caring community, and empowering them to make a meaningful impact in the world around them.

We want you to really consider the call to student mentorship by understanding the expectations and opportunities of the call, counting what it will cost you and committing to the area that you choose for the full year.

Comprehend the Role
Our mentors play a critical role in three distinct areas, each offering unique opportunities for commitment and impact:

Sundays:
  • Interactive Lessons: Lead and facilitate engaging discussions around the Word, providing a supportive environment for students to explore and question their faith.
  • Role Modeling: Become a Christlike figure in their lives, complementing the efforts of parents and small-group leaders.
  • Additional Activities: Your involvement can range from greeting students, assisting with check-in, leading prayers, or teaching, enriching our ministry's outreach.

Wednesdays:
  • Small-Group Discipleship: The core of spiritual growth, where discussions become the foundation of faith building.
  • Beyond Meetings: Engage with students outside of scheduled meetings, including meeting parents, serving together, and participating in fun activities, strengthening community ties.

Both Days:
  • Consistent Mentorship: Your steady presence on both days is key to our ministry, offering students a reliable figure to emulate and depend on. This commitment is essential for fostering spiritual maturity and long-term discipleship.

Count the Cost of the Role
Jesus calls us to consider the cost of discipleship, emphasizing the need for sacrifice and daily commitment. Mentoring is more than presence; it's about embodying Christ's teachings through actions and words, as students absorb not just what we say but what we do.

We seek individuals committed to fulfill the Great Commission,  not just to fill roles. What will you need to give up to make this happen? Are you willing to pay the cost to disciple students? If you are, great!

Commit to the Role
Mentorship requires significant commitment. Students don’t just need your availability; they need reliability. So in the words of Jesus, let your “yes” be “yes,” and your “no,” “no.” Ensure your commitment matches your capacity to significantly contribute to our students' lives.

We hope that you comprehend the call, count the cost of the call, and commit to the call. Here’s a reminder of what we’re looking for:

Your Options
Consider your potential impact as a mentor. Are you prepared to guide, support, and inspire our students through your actions and teachings? We respect your decision, whether it's a commitment to this vital role or a pause to assess your ability to contribute.

  • Sundays Only: Engage in interactive lessons and discussions.
  • Wednesdays Only: Build deeper connections through small group discipleship.
  • Both Days: Enhance your influence with consistent mentorship.

Consider the impact you're called to make in our students' lives. If you feel moved to take on this rewarding role, let's chat. Your commitment, no matter the size, is invaluable.

Together, we'll guide our students towards being followers of Jesus.
