Event Information

Please keep in mind that this is an application for event staffing and not an invitation or guarantee that you will be selected to staff. One of the primary considerations in making staff decisions is the number of youth who register for each Event. For that reason, the Overall Dean(s) will be in touch with you AFTER the application deadline for each Event.

New staff need a new recommendation when they first apply and returning staff need an updated recommendation every two years. If you did not get a new/updated recommendation in 2024, you will need one for 2025.

In cases of larger congregations where another pastor, youth director or other church staff member may be more familiar with your involvement in youth ministry, that person’s recommendation will be acceptable in place of the senior pastor.
