Are You an Impact Adult?

Impact adults are ordinary people of faith who become extraordinary in the eyes of middle school youth by sharing their time and their faith stories with them.

The Confirmation Ministry program is looking for a few adults who love God, like middle school kids, and are willing to be involved in the Christian growth of 5-6 young people for one school year.  The confirmation program meets Wednesday nights from 7-8:30pm from September to April.

Guides commit themselves to learning, playing, and promoting Christian service with and among the youth in their small group.  A guide will grow in his/her own faith and learn from and with the youth as they travel together on a faith journey.  Each guide is paired with another guide and together they act as facilitators of small group discussion (guides are not teachers!).  Guides are mentors who lead a small group by being models of the Christian faith.

Other qualifications for those in this caring position include (but are not limited to) the following: regular in worship attendance, a commitment to praying for the young people and confirmation leaders, a desire to grow in their faith, and a willingness to be welcomed into the confirmation family of Salem!
