2026 PK Staff & Cabin Leader Application

2026 PK Staff & Cabin Leader Application
PK Retreat is a special weekend created just for the children of Illinois Assemblies of God Credentialed Ministers in grades 2 through 12. It gives PKs the rare chance to spend time together, build meaningful friendships, and be surrounded by others who understand the unique rhythms of ministry life. Cabin Leaders help make that possible. Your presence, encouragement, and example have a real impact.

Whether you grew up as a PK yourself or simply love investing in the next generation, we would love to have you consider serving. You do not need to be perfect or have all the answers. A heart to serve, a willingness to reflect Christ well, and a desire to care for students goes a long way.

Orientation and support will be provided, and you will serve as part of a team. You will not be alone in leading students. Orientation, prayer, and practical preparation help make this a meaningful and fun experience for everyone.
WHAT WE ASK OF LEADERS
To provide a safe and encouraging environment for every student, we ask Cabin Leaders and Staff to complete a few simple steps. These help us care well for PKs and make sure the experience is healthy for everyone involved.
- Background check
- Pastoral reference
- Personal reference
- Required orientation meeting
- Agreement with safety and conduct guidelines
Thank you for helping us protect and serve our PKs with care.
