Guides                            

Guides are the heart of youth ministry here at Shepherd of the Valley. They are the adults who volunteer to spend about an hour a week with 6-8 young people. It is in their small groups that caring relationships are forged, communities are created, and the lessons we teach in the large group begin to move from head knowledge to heart knowledge.

If you are an adult and have a student in confirmation or you have a heart for youth in general, please prayerfully consider being a guide for 6th, 7th, or 8th Grade. Your time investment can have a life changing impact on the lives of the teens in our community. You don't have to have a degree in religious studies to teach this stuff either. It is pretty easy!  Each week we supply you with the questions to lead your small group with and (gasp) even the answers (if there are answers...) For more information on being a guide, please contact a youth staff person or pastor.
