2026 Summer Staff Application

JOB DESCRIPTION
M28 is looking for college students who are seeking the Lord and practicing spiritual disciplines daily as they grow in their faith. These counselors will participate in many of the following tasks:

  • Leading D-Groups (Discipleship Groups)*

  • Setting the tone for worship as attendees enter the building

  • Assisting in and leading workshops

  • Building relationships with attendees and volunteer adults

  • Setting up for worship sessions

  • etc.

    *One of an M28 Counselor’s roles is leading a D-Group of 12-14 students after the evening worship sessions.

They are able to dialogue about their faith and discipleship with an M28 Counselor and their peers. Counselors will be given curriculum to follow that goes along with the worship session teaching material.

COUNSELOR MINISTRY COVENANT

I agree to begin NOW and continue the following things throughout my ministry with M28 Camps:

I will participate in an active life of discipleship. This includes attending a local church, reading the Bible and praying daily, consistently being involved in a Bible study with other believers, being engaged with a worshipping body, and seeking to represent Jesus in my daily thoughts, actions, words, and deeds.

If I am under 21 I will adhere to local law and not consume alcohol. If I am 21 or older, if I consume alcohol I will not get drunk, post alcohol on my social media, and I will pray and seek guidance from the Lord before I consume alcohol. I will not consume alcohol while I am preparing for or attending M28Camps.

1 Corinthians 7:2 teaches that sex is for a marital relationship, therefore I will not involve myself in a sexual relationship outside of marriage.

I will use my words to uplift others and glorify the Kingdom of God therefore I will refrain from cursing or using foul language and posting anything related to this subject on social media. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will refrain from discussing with participants at M28Camps important topics related to racial issues, divorce, homosexuality, transgender issues, and politics, as these are topics students should be discussing with their youth pastors and parents.

I will not spend time alone with any student/youth at M28Camps (including those from my own church). I will have an adult or other M28 Staff person with me when talking with a student.

My body is the temple of God and I willl therefore wear clothing that covers all of my personal areas. (At camp, females will wear 1 piece bathing suits. Males - no speedos.)

I will not show public display of affection with anyone, including a boyfriend/girlfriend. I will also not actively seek a romantic relationship with another staff member while at camp. I will focus completely on the Lord and the students he has entrusted me to lead.

I will follow the M28Camps schedule, be prompt in each role I play, enjoy being a team player, and enjoy the amazing plans God has in store for me!
