THE EDGE CORE TEAM 2008-2009

I am going to start recruiting for Core team members sometime soon and will be asking new applicants to fill out a Core Member Application, which can be downloaded via the link on the top-right of this page. Applicants will be asked to participate in an interview with the EDGE Coordinator and, if eligible, will become Core Team Members. 

Each adult Core team member must be fingerprinted by Live-Scan. This service is offered at the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Station by appointment for a small fee, which the Church will refund once the fingerprinting has been completed and filed. To contact the Sheriff's Station for an appointment:

26010 Highway 189
Post Office Box 384
Twin Peaks, California, 92391
(909) 336-0600

All adult Core members are also required by the Diocese as adult volunteers to take two small, quick training courses online: Safe Environment and Child Abuse Mandated Reporter, both of which are offered on the Diocese website:

Both courses are free and must be passed with a printed certificate of completion as proof and for the Church's records as part of The San Bernardino Diocese's requirements for Safe Environment.

Lastly, anyone thinking about becoming an EDGE Core member should please, please, PLEASE: PRAY. Ask God if this is really what He wants you to do, and ask yourself, "What can I give?" Teaching these kids about Jesus and their faith and watching them develop their own Christian relationships with each other and with God is one of the greatest blessings I have ever received. 

DON'T think you're not smart enough, you don't know enough about your faith, you don't like talking in front of people, you don't like disciplining kids. 

ALL YOU NEED TO BE A CORE MEMBER IS: a love for Jesus Christ, and the will to teach and work with children. God bless you and I hope to see you this coming year!
