Mentors
(high involvement with students – high commitment)

Mentors are essential to an effective ministry with the youth at Hope Church. They are called to be available and involved in the lives of students in order to be a model of Christ-likeness, demonstrating love and compassion. Through these discipling relationships, the students will learn more then can ever be taught to them in a program, because they will see the Christ-life as it is truly lived out in the mentor. The time commitment expected here is a minimum of 90 minutes per week outside of program times. This includes prayer and active contacting by phone, mail/email, or in person. The mentor will commit to the 5-3-1 principle where they will know five students, develop relationships with three, and focus on one. Mentors can also get involved by teaching on Wednesday or Sunday nights or by leading a small group.
