Momentum Volunteer Application

Momentum Volunteer Application

This application solely expresses your interest to serve at Momentum Conference and does not secure your spot. Due to the nature of the event, there are limited spaces available. Illinois Student Ministries withholds the right to approve or deny any and all applications and will notify you of such no later than November 10th.
Momentum Conference will be held in Naperville at Calvary Church November 22-23, 2024. Volunteers should plan to arrive on November 21st to aid in the set-up of the conference and receive instructions of assignments for the duration of the event. The conference concludes Saturday at 4:00 PM and volunteers should plan to stay for clean-up post-event. Clean-up should be complete by 6:00 PM.

Volunteers will be allowed to stay in rooms at Calvary Church (separated by gender) and utilize the locker room showers to get ready at no cost to them. Meals will be provided while serving.

Serving at Momentum will allow students to see the behind-the-scenes of large-scale events and work alongside District leadership.

Registrants are required to submit a reference contact, whom we will reach out to ensure the applicant is fit to serve at this conference.

Registrations must be submitted no later than November 8, 2024. No late registrations will be accepted.

By submitting an application to serve, the applicant agrees to follow the Illinois Student Ministries Code of Conduct.

Code of Conduct:

Christ-like Conduct: Volunteers associated with Illinois Student Ministries (ISM) must uphold Christ-like behavior, characterized by grace, honesty, kindness, and intentionality.

Graceful Responses: Exercise grace, especially in stressful situations, when others may express frustration. If issues arise, direct individuals to ISM Leadership for resolution without attempting to fix the situation personally.

Honesty: Always prioritize honesty in your service to prevent misunderstandings.

Kindness: Embrace kindness as a cornerstone of volunteer attributes, especially during impactful moments in services and worship that may evoke unexpected emotions in students.

Purposeful Work: Approach your tasks with intentionality, aligning with ISM-proven systems designed for large-scale conferences. Work efficiently to ensure productivity.

Equal Importance: Recognize that every job assignment is equally vital to the smooth operation of the conference. Check in upon arrival and report to your group leader before departing.

Dismissal Clause: ISM reserves the right to dismiss any individual not adhering to the agreed-upon conduct during the conference. If asked to leave, you must do so immediately, with no remuneration or reimbursement from ISM.

Reasons for Dismissal: Reasons for dismissal may include inappropriate behavior, use of unbecoming language in a Christian atmosphere, any form of sexual harassment, rudeness or unkindness towards guests or fellow staff, failure to follow instructions or leaving your post without informing staff, entering rooms of the opposite gender, use of illicit substances, vapes, nicotine, or alcohol during service, or any actions considered dangerous or offensive to staff or guests.

Prior to Dismissal: Before requesting your departure, ISM will discuss the nature of your actions, explain why they are unacceptable, and understand the factors leading to your dismissal.

ISM will review all applications and let you know your acceptance no later than November 10th. Please contact ISM with any questions by emailing ilsmonline@idcag.org.
Please keep in mind that if you are currently serving as a leader at a youth ministry, your first responsibility is to your youth group. If your Youth Pastor needs you to be a leader of their group, you should fulfill that role first and foremost.
