SERVE Team Application 2024-2025
Application to join Central Students SERVE Team!
WHY SHOULD I DO IT?
SERVE Team is an opportunity for Central Students to know God more and make Him known, as well as leverage their God-given gifts and talents in order to impact the world around them for Christ. SERVE Team encompasses various positions of leadership. While each position of leadership has differing descriptions and expectations, the goal is the same: for student leaders to make disciples of Jesus Christ as they live out their walk with Christ in the mission field where He has placed them. SERVE Team has 2 primary purposes:1. Discipleship that leads to personal evangelism 2. Gain leadership experience DISCIPLESHIP - Students will participate in weekly SERVE Team training sessions. - Students will go through Starting Point with a staff member or adult leader. - Students will be encouraged to consistently participate in a discipleship group. LEADERSHIP - Each student will have weekly ministry responsibilities including, but not limited to ConnectGroup weekends. - Students will have the responsibility of dreaming, planning, developing, and carrying out ministry opportunities on their school campus, in their homes, and for Central Students as a whole.

HEART OF SERVE TEAM
Why is SERVE Team expected to be the most faithful and consistent participants in Central Students? Leaders are present! Rarely does decreased attendance and involvement produce increased devotion.

Dear Parents,
Thank you for your interest in your student being involved in our Central Students SERVE Team. Please know that it is not the desire of Central staff to create more activities in which your student can be involved. Life is busy. There is always an activity to occupy our time. We recognize that busyness does not equate to growth and growth should not come at the sacrifice of family time and commitments.However, I want you to know that a commitment to this team involves much support - from you first, as well as our staff here. We are here to help your student grow as a godly young man or woman by providing opportunities for them to joyfully serve and exercise their spiritual gifts.We firmly believe God is raising up students to be servant leaders and a catalyst in reaching a generation with the Gospel of Jesus.In order to be a part of SERVE Team, we require students to consistently attend:- Weekend Worship in the Worship Center- Central Students ConnectGroups- SERVE Gathering every Sunday at 8:45am- Central Students MDWK activities- All major events, i.e. Summit WKND, Beach Camp, Middle School Camp, Mission trips etc. (Scholarships are available and we never want finances to be a reason someone can't serve and/or participate)Additionally, we are asking SERVE Team members to attend a half-day SERVE Team training at the beginning of the school year and new year (details will be communicated later), and have weekly ministry responsibility. If this is a commitment to which you feel your student can pledge, we would love for them to fill out our SERVE Team applicationFinally, all SERVE Team students are required to go through Starting Point (discipleship curriculum) with a Central Students staff member or adult leader.We are grateful to walk alongside you in raising disciples, Kingdom servants, and eager to see how God uses these students to reach a generation with the Gospel. You are vital to the growth of a spiritually maturing young adult!In Him,Eric JonesStudent Director
