Success of the Team
The success of the team depends on us the players fulfilling our roles on the team as well as looking out for the team as a whole.

This team position requires 1.5 to 2 hours per week and the occasional shopping trip during the week. Kitchen Crew is expected to work together in planning, shopping, prepping and serving the snacks.

Support Staff
Expectations: Setting up the auditorium for youth group and packing up following youth group. Making sure the auditorium is ready for the following Sunday’s worship gatherings. Support staff will recruit students each week to help with the set up and clean up. This gives the support staff an opportunity to teach students about ministry, serving others, as well as a chance to invest in student’s lives. It is not “grunt” work, it is ministry! Involve the students.

Family Group Leaders
Expectations: Arrive at NHC for youth group at 5:45 for team meeting and prayer. Hang out with students during Hang Time, not with the adults. Use Hang Time to invest in student’s lives. Gather family group together at family group table at 7:00 for the Bible study. Lead in the discussion time and prayer time with the family group. Use prep material if emailed earlier in the week. Hang out after youth group while students are getting picked up. This is a safety measure and gives further opportunity to build relationships. Check e-mail for weekly updates, check obxstudents.com often.
Make sure that absent family group members are contacted by other students from the family group during the week following.
Contact each family group member at least once a month either by e-mail, telephone, facebook, in person (outside of youth group), at games, post card, etc…
Pray daily for students in the family group. Keep up with their spiritual needs and be their shepherd by caring for them, protecting them and providing the support they might need. Convey to Andy any info about the student that you think he might need know.
Look for opportunities outside of the youth group gathering to hang out with students. Participate in monthly youth group events and activities when possible.
Family Group Leaders must be partners of NHC who have completed Discovering the Basics with Pastor Steve.
Time required in this position will be around 2.5 or more hours a week depending on events, activities, contacts etc… Of all the team positions this will require the most time and effort.

Support staff will also help with organizing events as needed.
Admin Support Staff must be partners of NHC and working towards completing the NHCU classes within a year of joining the youth ministry team.
This team position is the only one that won’t involved directly working with the students. The time involved in this position will vary depending upon needs. This is the most flexible team position and would be good for someone who wants to serve in the youth ministry but not necessarily work directly with students.
Event Support Staff
Expectations: Event Staff must be partners of NHC and working towards completing the NHCU classes within a year of joining the youth ministry team.
