What is a CORE member?

Everyone has a baptismal call to serve. A CORE Member is an adult who is responding to his or her baptismal call to serve in youth ministry. As a CORE Member, you will be an important role model in teenagers’ lives. Your approach to ministry should be rooted in service, commitment, and dedication to the Church and the teenagers you serve.

CORE Members are one of the most vital parts of the LIFE TEEN Program. First and foremost, CORE Members are role models to all of our teens. We know that how you live and act makes a strong impression of teens. The CORE Members work under the supervision of the youth ministry staff for the purpose of assisting in the fulfillment of the LIFE TEEN mission.

Scripture: John 1:3-5
All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be. What came to be through Him, was life, and this life was the light of the human race. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.

Scripture: 1 Tim 1:12-15
I am grateful to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy in appointing me to the ministry. I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and an arrogant man, but I have been mercifully treated because I acted out of ignorance in my unbelief. Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost.
Bio: Married to my best friend Debbie, for 21 yrs. 2 girls Bailey & Rene'. Life long member of St. Joseph's. Just trying to give back to God for all the good He has brought to me.

Scripture: 1 COR 13:3-4
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
