Jr. Guides for small groups on Wednesday nights

Our 10th-12th grade youth have the opportunity to be mentors, called Jr. Guides, to our 7th-9th grade youth going through the Affirm program. This entails making a commitment to attend Affirm with them on Wednesday nights, open up the large group time, and be an active and supportive leader with the Adult Guide during small group time. Also connecting with youth outside of class for encouragement in their faith.
