Anything Else?
* Your relationship with Jesus MATTERS. It's not about preaching, teaching or inviting kids to church, it's about shining the light of Christ through your words and your actions every day.
* Focus. Your time and attention is necessary to provide adequate supervision and to build upon the foundation of a relationship. We ask that you stay present and aware by keeping phones and devices put away during your volunteer time.
* Background checks are a MUST! The well being of our organization and the students requires us to be diligent in all aspects of safety and security.
