Build Relationships with Students

It’s like a mission trip in your backyard

You got into student ministry to bring the good news to teens. However, being in church ministry is hard. Not only are you overwhelmed with constant events, but even getting the kids in your church to be interested can be a challenge. Imagine having dedicated time, once a week, to be able to build relationships with teens in your local middle or high school. You may be the one that gets these kids to think of ideas they never have before and it can change their life.

How to become a mentor

Mentors are taken through a complete background check and mentor certification training.

They are placed in a mentor team and paired with a school and group of students for a whole school semester or year.

Each week the mentor team meets with students and guides them through the T1L1 curriculum that teaches universal principles to them.

Mentors work at developing long-term relationships so the students can feel safe asking questions of significance.
