Epiphany volunteers do not seek praise or acclaim for their actions, we wish “to let [our] light shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify [our] father in heaven” Matthew 5:16.
Soli Deo Gloria (To God alone be the Glory)
Volunteer Requirements
- Volunteers must have completed an Epiphany Volunteer application and be members in good standing at the Christian church they attend.
- Volunteers must obtain volunteer status from the SC Epiphany State Committee: This requires:
- Being at least 18 years old
- Completing an Epiphany Team Application
- Complete a background check
- Volunteers must have attended a recognized three-day weekend
- Such as Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, Via de Cristo, etc..
- The weekend attended can either be adult or a youth weekend (i.e. Happening or Chyrsalis).
- Some flexibility in this rule can be made for kitchen staff working outside of the facility at the discretion of the Lay Director.
- Volunteers on a weekend must commit to attend the entire 3-day weekend.
- Volunteers should attend at least half of the team training meetings, but it is much preferred for volunteers to attend all team training sessions.
- It is especially important for new volunteers to attend all team training meetings to understand the program and help in team building.
- Team selection is done by the Lay Director with the support and consent of the State Board. All team assignments are made by the Lay Director of the weekend.
- New volunteers have an excellent chance of being selected because a goal for weekends is that at least one-third of the team should be new to Epiphany.
