We are excited to be partnering with Upper Room to launch our 6200 Adult Mentoring program. We believe that there is something beautiful about entering into life-on-life relationships with one another. This fall we will be pairing 2 interested individuals to learn from one another.

The Process & Expectations
-
Those interested to become a mentor, be mentored, or who are open to either should apply below. This is a one year commitment (September-May) although we hope your relationship would continue as long as both individuals would like.
-
Both mentors & mentees are required to submit a background check (see our policy here)
-
Mentors will be interviewed and have a reference check
-
-
Mentors & mentees are expected to participate in all three weeks of Matching Nights
-
The first two weeks provide the opportunity to get to know each other and see where connections may form
-
The third week is for initial training, pair introductions, and time for pairs to connect
-
-
Pairs are matched based on things such as (but not limited to) information received in the application & mentor interviews, connections made during matching nights, similar hopes & desires for relationships, location, and stage of life.
-
Once matched, the pair goes through a relationship agreement document to establish ground rules
-
The desired expectation is that pairs would “meet” twice a month with other communication between
-
Meeting can be going to church together, grabbing dinner, running errands, attending kids sporting events, volunteering together, etc.
