Serve

Ministers to each person who enters CBC by welcoming them with a genuine smile, a warm word and a hand- shake or hug. We serve to make our visitors feel especially welcome by ensuring they have guidance to their next stop whether it is children’s wing, coffee bar, kiosk to register or a seat in the worship center. The goal is to bring visitors, from the parking lot and through the door, to tell them what we are about, what we offer, and make sure they are comfortably seated, with coffee if desired. We also should encourage each one to complete a Connection card.

Vision: A place where every Junior High and High School student is known and accepted, taught about Jesus, and challenged to grow.

Mission: We strive to be a group where every student is known and accepted, taught about Jesus, and challenged to grow. The student ministry at Cleburne Bible Church is designed and determined to make a lasting spiritual impact in the life of students through our various programs and events. But most of all we believe that the most effective way to impact students is through significant relationships with caring adults who know and accept them, teach them about Jesus and challenge them to grow. Today’s students do not connect to programs; they connect with people.

Small Group Leader: Our small groups are the BACKBONE of our ministry—they make our big group smaller, allowing students to connect with other Christians in meaningful relationships. As a small group leader, you’ll meet with a small group of students once a week and connect with students outside of your small group meetings. Small group leaders are the pastors of their group of students. They disciple and shepherd their students. The goal is to have at least one primary and a secondary leader for each group. We provide you with the curriculum (and the students!). This commitment requires about two hours every week and any additional time you can put in to invest in the lives of students. We also ask each small group leader to commit to moving up with their group each year. We need people who… care for the students in their small group… are willing to connect deeply with their students… listen well… guide students closer to Jesus… hold students accountable in love.

Wednesday Program Leader: Our Wednesday Services are the FRONT DOOR for our ministry. Every week, students come to our student ministry looking for a friendly and warm place to find acceptance. At these services, we try to break the stereotype that Church has to be boring. It’s filled with laughter, videos, singing, games and a message that challenges students toward spiritual maturity. Our Wednesday Leaders play a huge role in making students feel welcomed and accepted. This is a vital role for our ministry because a student won’t become theologically aware of God’s love if he/she doesn’t feel loved by anyone in a crowded room. We need people who… are friendly and take initiative to create a warm environment… are positive and have a great attitude… can live without a lot of affirmation from students… can start conversations with students… even though it’s tough!

Behind the Scenes: We are always in need of help with behind the scenes work, whether that’s in the kitchen on Wednesday nights or set up and tear down for special events. We need people who… can help with snacks and food for Wednesday services and small groups… can arrive before special events to help set up or after events to help tear down and clean… can organize many behind-the-scenes tasks

Technology, Graphics, Audio, Video Editing: If you are talented at video editing, Photoshop, audio engineering, ProPresenter, or Illustrator this is for you. We are always looking for people to help us use media to better reach students. We are constantly striving to discover new ways of communicating God’s word and interacting students in our services and programs. We need people who… are gifted at graphic design, video, or technology… interested in reaching students in a relevant way… passionate at using media to communicate God’s work.
