Seniors who desire to be community group mentors have a (1) growing relationship with Jesus Christ, (2) set an example for younger students in a personal relationship with Christ. Elementary Community groups occur during elementary chapel once a month, and are designed with a small group of 10-12 students and two high school leaders. Opportunities will be available for high school students to share in a large group chapel as well as with their assigned small groups.
