Volunteer Expectations

At Seven Rivers Student Ministry, we believe every student should feel seen, known, and loved — and pointed toward Jesus. Volunteers play a key role in helping create a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered environment where students can build relationships and grow in their faith.

We believe life change happens through relationships, just as Jesus modeled. Our leaders don’t just show up for programs — they show up for students. Whether that’s engaging on Wednesday nights, encouraging students outside of programming, or simply being a consistent presence, we value intentional connection and care.

On Wednesday nights, we gather for Student Life, a fun and welcoming environment where students can encounter Jesus, build friendships, and hear the gospel in an age-appropriate and meaningful way.
