THE CORE TEAM is composed of adult volunteers who are committed to sharing their faith in Jesus Christ and their love for the Catholic Church with teens. Team Members accomplish this by putting God first in their life and responding to the call to be a Disciple of Christ.  Once this is in place, the Core Team Members share the Gospel message with teens by building relationships with them, facilitating regular small groups at youth nights, and various other creative methods of personal contact.

YOUTH VOLUNTEER QUALIFICATIONS- Core Team Members must have a relationship with Jesus Christ that is reflected in their lifestyle and attitude, love teenagers, be in good standing with and have a love for the Catholic Church, participate regularly in Sunday Mass, and have a personal prayer life. Core Team Members are expected to attend periodic training sessions and retreats as well as regular Core Team meetings. 

Core Team Members must continue to possess the above qualifications throughout the duration of their commitment. Core Members are free at any time to unconditionally terminate their relationship as a Core Team Member. St. Joseph Church retains the right to ask Core Team Members to step out of this ministry.
