This is a place for high-schoolers to explore the Christian faith, connect with friends and have a great time. Opportunities range from prepping for our weekly meeting to working directly with students.
REALIFE currently meets Wednesdays from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Leaders arrive at 6:15 p.m. to meet before students arrive (or earlier, if you want to come and help set up). Leaders can serve in a variety of capacities, from task-oriented to relationally-orientated roles. You could serve by checking students in, serving food, leading games, helping with production or worship, or simply be free to build relationships with students to lead them closer to Jesus.
