Training:
To develop people in their ministry roles, it is important that the Youth Leaders are provided training so they can lead effectively and feel support of being part of this dynamic team. At the beginning of a semester, training and orientation meetings can help those who are new to the youth leadership role and refresh memories of those who have been a part of the team for a longer period of time. Additional meetings and/or workshops throughout the year will provide a context for encouragement and additional training.
Lastly, Amity BC is not just a place of worship and where ministry programs happen, but also a place of safety and trust. Parents will want to know that not only are their youth being cared for spiritually, but also that they are in a safe environment. As such, those serving in the Youth Ministry program will be required to provide a current background check and may be subject to approval by the Pastoral and Elder leadership of Amity BC.
