Thank you for expressing an interest in being a Small Group Leader for our High School Mission Trip. Please take some time to read through the following. When we get your application (online) we will contact you to set up an informal interview either over the phone or in person. We are looking for a diverse group of adults who love God, want to be stretched in leadership experience, communicate well with teenagers, and can be flexible while working with other adults under the direction of the Trip Directors. Though no one is guaranteed a spot, we are excited that you’re interested.
