7 WHAT AM I COMMITTING TO? Time commitment varies depending on the serving role you choose. Because consistency is important when building relationships with students, we ask that you serve 80% of the time (four out of fi ve weekends). For weekend roles, volunteers arrive in their serving area 30 minutes before the service starts. Also, all volunteers should attend a service in the auditorium. Serving should not take the place of a weekend service but be in addition to it. We re all in different places in our journey. And that s okay. But we ask that those who work directly with students be Christ-followers. CAN STUDENTS VOLUNTEER? Realizing that there are other great opportunities for growth at Crossroads, we require that all student volunteers also attend their respective service at Crossroads in addition to serving. To be a student volunteer, you must be four grades older than those you are serving. For example, a student in 10th grade could serve in 6th grade, but not 7th or 8th. I m seeing maybe God is real and maybe, if he is, he may not be so scary. -Quincey I used to think that religion was for adults to understand. I come to HS because it helps clarify God s plan for my life. -Simone HS helps me really think about how the message relates to my life and how to apply the lesson to how I think or live. -Mallory My mom thought it would be a good idea for me to come, but I m hoping to get a closer relationship with Jesus. -William
