Peer Ministers

The Peer Ministry program began in 1997 and continues this year with a new direction as well as a few new faces. The Peer Ministers are initiators, organizers, greeters, and faith sharers.  They also have a specific area of ministry in which they will focus on. Working with a designated ministry mentor, each hopes to encourage involvement in center activities.

Peer Ministers for 2009-2010 are:
