In addition, there are literally dozens of opportunities for you to become
involved in a very active and rewarding youth ministry. We have a lot
of parents and other adults who are very committed to the Youth Ministry.
They do this because of their desire to make a difference in young people's
lives, and because it's so personally fulfilling. Honestly, the adults who
help out receive much more than they are asked to give.
Ways you can become involved:
Youth Council
- This is the planning and implementing arm of the youth ministry at Central
Baptist. Everything this youth ministry does is born and grows out of
this team of youth and adults. We just need people who love teens,
have a passion for God, and want to be an integral part of a very active
youth ministry. They meet every third Sunday night at 7:30.
Every year we spend a weekend in April evaluating and planning for the
future.
Worship Planning Team
- Do you have music, fine arts, technical skills? A strong creative
streak? An understanding of what moves and inspires people? Or
maybe you're just good at making people feel welcome. Our worship
planning team plans, implements, and evaluates our non-traditional worship
service. This is a very unique opportunity to participate in an
extremely important aspect of our ministry. Right now this group meets
on a random schedule. We will be settling down to a routine soon. We
also look for singers and musicians to help lead this worship service.
Sunday Morning Bible Study Leader
- This is an excellent opportunity to spend some quality time with our core
youth in leading Bible Study, helping coordinate social events, and using
some admini
strative skills.
L.I.F.E. Leader
- Just check out the
L.I.F.E.
page for a brief look at what
L.I.F.E.
is all about. It is the cornerstone of our ministry. There are
dozens of opportunities for you to use a variety of gifts in a very
meaningful ministry.
You can: teach, lead small groups, organize games, help plan special
activities, serve
snacks and drinks, play a musical instrument, serve as an assistant in a
specific
area, or just hang out with the youth.
If you can do anything we can use you in
L.I.F.E.!!
(We are also beginning a
"Ministry of Encouragement".
There are a lot of parents and adults who want to help out with
L.I.F.E.
but aren't quite ready to be thrown in with the youth. We have a group
of parents who fill out birthday cards and prayer request cards while the
youth are in Bible Study and send these youth little personal notes.
It's a powerful and meaningful way to let these youth know that we really do
care. If you are interested in helping out with this ministry then
e-mail me at kbusman@cbcfc.org or show up on Wednesday nights at the FLC and
ask for Marie.)
Event or Trip Chaperone
- We're always looking for people to help us with the regular youth
activities. You can help with lock-ins, hayrides, fellowships, and go
with us on overnight trips like weekend retreats, white water rafting, snow
skiing, and of course Centrifuge, (our annual summer camp to the beach).
Just contact the youth office, or e-mail the youth minister Kal, if you have
any interest in becoming a part of this life-changing ministry. We
promise we won't throw you in too quickly, and you'll find after a short
period of time you find yourself in one of the most rewarding things you've
ever done..... we promise!!!
Centrifuge info for 2009-
We will return to Panama City Beach, FL
The date is June 15-19.
We will leave on Sunday night at Midnight on the 14th.
