LEADERSHIP

While being on the CI Leadership Team can be fun and rewarding,
it is also something to be taken seriously. Being a leader means knowing how
to be a servant; working with youth or peers in the CI setting requires
modeling appropriate behavior and exhibiting spiritual maturity–
not just at camp, but in your daily walks with Christ.
CI-PNW 2021 Leadership Team

 
OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

 
Leadership team development for CI-PNW is already underway -- in fact, informal leadership formation usually begins during the most recent Christmas Institute gathering as we mentor our Leaders in Training and guide our rising high school graduates! Conversations about leadership opportunities occur during family group time, cabin sharing, and more. All prospective new and returning leaders then formally gather throughout the year for special trainings and sessions such as Summer Institute (SI), and other leadership events to appear on the calendar. Commitment includes attendance at meetings, 1-2 overnight retreats, prayer/Bible study sessions, and corresponding regularly via phone or e-mail. Our CI Advisory Board is excited to hear from you if you are interested! Contact us at advisory@ci-pnw.org.

 

PROSPECTIVE LEADERS FOR FUTURE CI'S
 
So... you wanna be an ATE or KUYA at the next CI? BRING IT ON!!!

As the CI Leadership Team comes together, each of you will be asked to make a covenant with one another, and with God. We encourage you to pray about your decision before making a commitment, and please read the leadership role descriptions to see where God might be calling you to serve. For more information, contact advisory@ci-pnw.org.

SPECIAL NOTE: CI-PNW trains all prospective leaders and support staff every year, new or returning. Our gatherings help equip all leaders with the necessary materials, resources, and strategies for running this year's camp while building solid fellowship within the team. If you are unsure of your schedule availability during CI, still make leadership trainings a priority. Whether you plan to help for just one day, two nights, or hopefully the entire camp, WE NEED YOU AT THESE SESSIONS! =)

In addition to the organized CI-PNW leadership team trainings, all CI leaders and adult support staff must complete the following through the Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church prior to their attendance at CI:

+ a national background check (valid for 2 years);
+ MinistrySafe Sexual Abuse Awareness Training;
+ CPR/First Aid training (if applicable); and
+ any other required trainings as instructed.
