The mentor ministry was established to provide youth the opportunity to interact with positive adult role models on a regular basis. Mentors, committed to making a difference in the lives of our youth, are asked to serve for no less than one academic year. A minimum of three monthly contacts with their respective youth and participation in monthly activities with other mentors and young people is expected.

Mentors are required to attend orientation and training sessions. Further, mentors are subject to a reference and background check before being assigned to a young person.

The mentor ministry has a second component, the focus of which is academics. A biweekly tutorial session (Study Hall) is held at McKinley School on Monday and Thursday evenings.

Mentors meet once a month to hand in monthly mentor logs, report on progress and discuss any problems or concerns. A yearly calendar of all events and meetings is distributed the first meeting of the year.

The organization is as follows: program coordinator, mentor-mentee chair, academics chair, secretary, activity coordinator, after school coordinator and training/recruiter coordinator. The program coordinator(s) has oversight of the Mentor Ministry, attends the monthly Discipleship meeting and serves as liaison between mentor and parents. The academic chair makes copies of report cards, sends the same to the Director of Discipleship, and makes recommendations for Study Hall per the report cards. The activity coordinator plans and coordinates monthly activities. The after school coordinator reserves rooms for Study Hall, takes attendance and reports discipline problems to the program coordinator(s). The training/recruiter coordinator recruits mentors and arranges for mentor training sessions.

Study Hall, a part of the Mentoring Program, is run collaboratively with Tutorial Services. For times and locations of tutoring sessions, please contact the church office.

The Pastor requires every student to submit his/her report card for review at the end of each grading period.
