S.A.L.T. & LIGHT TEAMS

The S.A.L.T. & LIGHT (Student Action Leadership Team & Leaders Involving God’s Hidden Talents) teams are leadership teams committed to developing the servant-leadership skills of our teens and allow parents to take part in the development of these skills by working with the teens side-by-side. The development of these skills then motivates each of us to serve others by using the skills in service to the Lord in a number of ways. The S.A.L.T. team is made up of 7th-12th grade teens that are committed to serving the Lord through whatever talents with which He has blessed them. The LIGHT team consists of parents and adults who have a desire to help our teens use their talents in ministry. This is done by serving alongside them in a ministry team. We have provided our team members with several possibilities to involve their talents. Below are the possible ministry teams that you can become a part of (See attached “Ministry Team Explanation Sheet” for more details):

  1. Retreat Planning Ministry Team
  2. Saturday Night Live Planning Ministry Team
  3. Evangelism & Outreach Ministry Team
  4. Media Productions Ministry Team
  5. Youth Center Decorating and Upkeep Ministry Team
  6. Service Ministry Team
  7. Care Ministry Team
  8. Publications Ministry Team
  9. Drama & Singing Ministry Team

The S.A.L.T. & LIGHT teams will meet the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. On the second Tuesday of every month the following ministry teams will meet:

  1. Retreat Planning Ministry Team
  2. Evangelism & Outreach Ministry Team
  3. Media Productions Ministry Team
  4. Care Ministry Team
  5. Drama & Singing Ministry Team.

On the fourth Tuesday of every month the following ministry teams will meet:

  1. Saturday Night Live Planning Ministry Team
  2. Youth Center Decorating & Upkeep Ministry Team
  3. Service Ministry Team
  4. Publications Ministry Team.

There are three reasons we have split the teams into two nights of meetings: 1) To cut down on the number of ministry teams meeting at any one time in order to allow the Youth & Family Ministers time to visit each team for training, equipping and advising; 2) to allow for possible two-team S.A.L.T. & LIGHT members;  and 3) to cut down on the number of meetings one might have to attend as a commitment to the leadership teams. This will provide more opportunity to team members to meet outside of scheduled meeting times.

For this experience to be a positive one, anyone seeking to be a part of the S.A.L.T. & LIGHT teams will need to consider the following requirements, then fill out and sign the application form (see “Servant-Leader Application” attached to this packet).

REQUIREMENTS:

  1. Must be someone who is committed to growing into a deeper relationship with Christ.
  2. Must be someone who takes living the Christian faith serious.
  3. Must be an example in Christian conduct and character. This involves striving to be a reflection of Christ in:
  1. Devotional life
  2. Friendships
  3. Schoolwork
  4. Home life
  1. Must be committed to PRAYER.
  2. Must be willing to work hard.
  3. Must be committed to attend the one required S.A.L.T. & LIGHT team meeting each month for which you committed to and help in any outside responsibilities.
  4. Must commit to one or two ministry teams (NO MORE THAN TWO TEAMS).
  5. Must commit to a one-year commitment.

We understand that everyone has many commitments that they must honor. We are always understanding of those commitments and also to illnesses, deaths, etc. However, we feel that it is important to emphasize the level of commitment Christ calls us to in service to Him. In actuality, our list requirements are minimal compared to the commitment Christ has called us to. Prayerfully, this commitment will bring us into a closer relationship with Christ, encourage us to share our faith, and take us to the next level in our commitment to Him.
