General Information
Weekly Events
We aim to incorporate each of the Beacons at least once during each
month. Some events are geared toward furthering Christian experience,
some are geared toward service, and some are simply for fun and
fellowship.
Staffing
This program takes the effort of many dedicated individuals. Our staff
includes the Associate Minister for Children and Youth, the 2 full-time
Youth Ministers, and five dedicated and trained volunteer high school Junior
Advisors. All staff members receive training in ministry, are background
checked and are in compliance with the church’s Safe Church Policy. A copy
of the church’s Safe Church policy is available from the church office.
Service Projects
As we strive to answer Christ’s call to serve, service is a main element to
our yearly program. During the 2010-2011 year, JYG provided over 200 service
hours via monthly service projects.
Participation Guidelines
Regular Thursday events are generally held at the church. All are welcome.
New participants of friends must be introduced to the Associate Minister and
Youth Ministers.
Emergencies
In the unlikely case of an emergency, parents will be contacted quickly by
either the Associate Minister or one of the Youth Ministers. If the
emergency pertains to a single youth, only the parents of that youth will be
contacted.
Behavioral Covenant
All members must act in a manner consistent with the philosophy of JYG. The
focus of the program is on people, recreation, spiritual growth,
experiential education, and teambuilding in the context of a personalized
community environment. Accordingly, respect for oneself and all other group
members, Ministers and Advisors is critical and essential.
