LifeGuard
Formerly known as LaRoof
The name of this group comes from from Proverbs 4:23, where it says "Above ALL else GUARD your heart, for from it flows a wellspring of LIFE." We want to provide an envirounment for youth pastors to come to LIFEGUARD for spiritual nourishment and growth.
The Situation
-Too many people working with students are dying on the vine.
-Burn out is rapid, and accountability is lacking.
-When 18 mo. is considered a long tenure as a youth pastor, the Church is experiencing a crisis in leadership.
The Need
No simple program or training conference is going to fix the problem. We need more Godly men and women leading our young people, and the only sure way to stimulate consistent Christian maturity is over time, in real life together.
Relationships
The key component in the process and the motivation for the whole program is relationships. More important than anything we do is the fact that we do it together; people are what matter.
Retreats
There are three spiritual retreats each year.
Recreation
During each retreat, Lifeguard participants will be able to enjoy some recreation with fellow members. Activities may include beach time, sling-shot paintball, miniature golf, and pretty much… anything fun.
