A Different Type of Leader

If you could go back and tell yourself one thing in middle or high school, what would you say? As a SWAT Leader, you get the chance to share your testimony with students and encourage them to pursue Jesus with everything.

Middle & high school students have a lot opportunities in front of them. Each of these can be a distraction if they aren’t careful. As a college student, you have a fresh memory of what it was like to pursue Jesus in middle & high school. We give you a chance to encourage and challenge youth students to focus in on who Jesus is and what He has for them during these years.

We’re seeking enthusiastic college students ages 18-24 to join our team as leaders and disciples. At our events, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with a group of students, modeling what a daily relationship with Christ looks like and showing them how faith can intersect their everyday lives.

As you navigate your own faith journey in college, you’ll inspire young people to embrace their beliefs and make them their own. Each semester, you’ll have the chance to serve on at least two of the most impactful weekends of your semester, building meaningful relationships and leaving a lasting impact on the next generation.

Taking on a personal challenge to step into a leadership role can be a transformative experience, both for you and the next generation. By committing to this journey, you have the opportunity to inspire and mentor young individuals, equipping them with the skills and confidence they need to thrive. Investing in the next generation means sharing your knowledge, experiences, and values, creating a ripple effect that fosters growth and positivity within your community. Embrace the challenge of leadership today, and make a lasting impact by guiding others toward their potential.

I became a Christian through the prayers and love of the SWAT community in Athens. Now, I’m married to the girl who connected me to SWAT in the first place!

SWAT was super influential in emphasizing the importance of discipleship, both my need for it and cultivating a passion for discipleship in the ministry God had in store for me.
