Peer Ministry Training equips people with the ability to step outside their comfort zones to comfort others. It’s about connecting with others, it’s about relationships, and it’s about learning to be the presence of Christ in the uncertain places of the world. Peer Ministers learn how to start meaningful conversations with total strangers. They learn how to ask open-ended questions and how to create welcoming and inclusive environments. They learn how to walk alongside others through tough times and where to find the right resources. They learn how to minister the grace and love of Christ to their peers. It gives all participants useful skills beneficial for socializing with, ministering to, and relating to their peers! I would recommend this program to literally ANYONE (no matter which church they go to, which school they go to, or how many people they know in our program). Groups that have found this very useful in the past:
- College applicants looking to add to their resume
- Captains of sports teams who want to be better leaders
- Small group leaders for Confirmation or other programs
- People who have a job where they interact with people
- People interested in ministry
- People who want to learn to be better friends or listeners
- Leaders of local faith groups in school or in other churches
