Nathan Parker
Student Ministry In-Service Ministry Team
Help is always needed to accomplish effective ministry to students. Preparing food, using vehicles, finding chaperones, opening their home to our students for fellowships and retreats … we need lots of hands!  The leaders on this team simply fill out a Resource Inventory form and we call them upon them when needed. This is also a great way for parents to get involved with our ministry while still giving “space” to their student who is growing in a need for independence!
