WHAT IS A PEER DISCIPLE?
THE PEER DISCIPLE LEADERSHIP TEAM is a group of teens who want to learn about leading others the same way that Christ did: by serving as a physical representation of His Love for us. During leadership and evangelization training you will learn skills to bring leadership qualities back to your parish. You will learn how to grow deeper in your spiritual life. You will be the witness of Christ’s love to all the conference attendees through out the conference weekend by your full, conscious and active participation in and out of the conference sessions.
This training program of bible study, prayer, and experiencing the sacraments will challenge and encourage you to grow deeper in your relationship with God. Spending time with other peers, and role model Captains, you will learn what it means to live your life daily for Christ, and how to share it with others.
The Peer Disciples will spend a lot of time together sharing and encouraging each other’s faith and talking about how to be a leader in Christ by serving others. You will go over such things as how to share your faith, how to be spiritually strong in a spiritually dead world, peer pressure, etc. The overall combination of fun, service, and growth in Christ promises to offer an experience in which you truly realize what it means to live our faith!
PEER DISCIPLESHIP is for you if you :
1) have committed yourself to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and have a heartfelt desire to grow and serve the Lord.
2) are happy about yourself and who God is forming you to be.
3) have a desire to grow in your prayer life, sacramental life and communal life with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
(Note: Students who have previously served as a Peer Disciple can apply for a second time. We fill the Peer Disciple Team with first-time applicants. If there are spaces available, we will open the invitation to students who want to come back for a second time.)
