Parent and Volunteer Ministries
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us." (Heb 12:1 NRSV)
"Every Christian teenager needs an extended family of Christian adults-adults who can be a part of the “cloud of witnesses” that cheers him or her on. And the church should be the primary vehicle through which teenagers are exposed to adults who make up their extended family in Christ.” Mark DeVries, Family-Based Youth Ministry
The youth ministry staff is just the tip of the iceberg in being able to reach out to the youth we are blessed to be entrusted with here at St. George's. From parents driving and preparing food for EYC events to volunteers of all ages taking the time to get to know our youth individually and being part of their "cloud of witnesses", we are all called to lay a spiritual foundation for them and to help them grow into mature Christian adults. We invite you to be part of this journey with one or more young people and to realize that this investment of time is such an important ministry. Please contact the Youth Ministry Staff if you would like to be involved in any way.
“Parents play a role second only to the Holy Spirit in building the spiritual foundation of their children’s lives.” Mark DeVries, Family-Based Youth Ministry
