Applicant Profile
Here’s a list of what we’re looking for in a student. Check out the following and it just might help determine if this is something God has for you
An intentional relationship with Jesus
We’re not looking for casual Christians who are content with less than what God has for them. We want people who are intentionally seeking God – who are making space in their life for God to move and are restless to know Him better. You don’t have to have it all together, but you’ve got to have it in gear.
Passion for outreach
Does seeing people in need break your heart? Do you desire to have your hands follow your heart? Whether intimidated, intrigued, or engaged by the idea of evangelism, do you have a deep conviction that Jesus can make all the difference in a person’s life?
Love for young people
Youth for Christ is about building relationships with young people because we genuinely like being with them. Lifeteams isn’t simply about ministry – it’s about youth ministry. We’re looking for people who are excited that they have been called to love youth.
Desire to learn and grow
We’re looking for people with a teachable spirit who appreciate learning through focused mentorship. The flow of learning tends to happen through instruction, discussion, practice and feedback, all in the context of community. Our hope is that through the process, students would grow in wisdom, not just knowledge, and that that wisdom would be seen in the way they live.
Sense of adventure
Personal flexibility to respond to change and opportunity with enjoyment is important in a youth worker and in a Lifeteams student. It’s not about ability or proficiency, it’s about eagerness to experience what ever is around the next corner and trust in the God who’s in the adventure with you.
Commitment to “community”
Living in community is an intentional part of the Lifeteams program. Consistently, students name this element as one of the most valuable parts of their personal learning and character development. It’s more than living in the same place, it’s living out genuine faith side by side.
Age 19 or older
We will consider a mature 18 year old with previous youth leadership experience on an individual applicant basis, but for the most part our students have had at least a year out of high school to experience and explore life and Godliness in a more independent context.
