The Radiate Student Ministry strives to provide both local, national and international opportunities for students to engage in missions.
Our new #RadiateGo initiative offers students a monthly challenge to help local ministries and causes. We also plan yearly missions trips, alternating between Middle School and High School to introduce students into national and international missions, training them how to serve others and share the good news of Jesus.
That’s awesome! But what about the parents? You want to serve, too. Right?
We often hear from y’all that you want to be involved in the ministry your student is a part of, but may not be able to commit weekly. We love having parents involved in the ministry, and there are many ways that you can be involved in RADIATE. We do our best to honor our volunteers, because reaching the volume of students that we do wouldn’t be possible without you! Here are some specific opportunities to serve:
General Volunteer: For those of you that want to be involved but can’t commit to a regular position, you may be contacted from time to time for various opportunities like our bigger events or special Sunday morning breakfasts. You may also just be curious what is out there for you to be involved in. Send us an email!

Café Workers: We will work with your schedule to be added to a rotation. Working the café involves selling candy, soft-drinks, and biscuits on Sunday mornings or pizza Wednesday nights, and providing a pleasant attitude while interacting with students and their families.
* Contact Stephania Abney at Stephania.Abney@dominos.com
Small Group Leaders: You may be interested in a teaching or mentorship role in the lives of students but can’t commit to Sunday mornings. We’d love to have you jump in on Wednesday nights or throughout the week in a small group, facilitating biblical conversation as you unpack the messages.

Tech Team: You may be interested in a more behind-the-scenes role like running slides for lyrics and sermon notes, learning how to run lights, or assisting in the sound booth. Let us know, and we can help get you connected!
