The Core Team is a group of adults, some young and others young at heart, without whom our youth program wouldn't be possible. Core Team members take an active role in forming authentic, Christ-centered relationships with teens, because teens don't connect to programs ... they connect to people! Teens (middle & high school) need adults who will: 

• Love God & live for Him 
• Be genuinely interested in the teens' lives 
• Go to "their world" - show up at their games & events with other Core Team members 
• Pray for them 
• Be patient 
• Laugh 
• Remember their names & care about them 
• Be authentic witnesses to God's love 
• Be consistent 
• Enjoy life 
• Love teens unconditionally 
• Love Christ and His Church 
• Have a personal prayer life 
• Be open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit 

Volunteers Must Have Clearances 

     Any volunteers who are age 18 and older MUST HAVE Safe Environment clearances. 
 Please contact Safe Environment Coordinator Laurie Exler at 412-486-4100 or [email protected] to start the process. It can take weeks to get the clearances in order so please do not wait until the last minute. 

     Wondering if your clearances are up-to-date? Contact Laurie – she will be happy to check for you. 

Don't hesitate to reach out and get involved! Contact Bryanna at [email protected] or call 412-715-9558 for more information or to volunteer! We need you, our teens need you, and most importantly God needs you! 
 

"I send you out, therefore, on the great mission of evangelizing young men and women who have gone astray in this world like sheep without a shepherd. BE APOSTLES OF YOUTH! Invite them to walk with you, to have the same experience of faith, hope, and love; to encounter Jesus so that they may feel truly loved, accepted, able to realize their full potential."
