Share your time at a ministry event.

Every youth in our care needs a small army of praying, dedicated leaders in their corner. As a Catalyst volunteer, you will have a front-row view of the amazing faith our young people have. You will have the opportunity to invite them deeper into the life of the Church. Through retreat talks and witnesses, small group leadership, and relational ministry, adults 18+ can help disciple young people in a way that is sure to lead hearts to Christ. There are also more basic volunteer needs, such as chaperoning middle school events, driving the deanery van, and assisting with concessions/ticketing at deanery athletic events.
