Youth Staff Mission Statement
West Linn Lutheran Church Youth Staff Members strive to serve the church community in a positive, respectful, and helpful manner, while also acting as role models to fellow middle and high school students. Youth staff members gain invaluable work and leadership experience through active involvement in the church.

Program Overview

Youth can get involved in these roles starting in 6th grade. The program is designed to have middle schoolers volunteering in these roles with the intent to transition into a paid role once in high school. 
Our Program Areas: 
  • Soundboard-Coordinate all of the speaker, microphone, and sound settings during service. 
  • Prayground-Lead children in participating in children's liturgy and activities. 
  • Computer-Manage the slideshow during service. 
  • Liquid Love-Learn the skills of a barista and provide coffee to our church members between services.
Scheduling

Job Evaluations

Job evaluations provide our youth staff the opportunity to discuss with their supervisor each quarter to discuss what's going well, what needs to be developed, and to set goals for the upcoming quarter. These meetings provide valuable career development which is a core part of this program.
