Questions and Answers

    Let's say you have a significantly busier sport/extracurricular season, and you need to take some time off.  That means for a certain amount of time you...

    • A.

      ...do not have to attend PMT Meetings, Youth Group, or any other Youth Ministry events.

    • B.

      ...may choose which commitment (PMT Meetings, Youth Group, etc.) you will temporarily opt out of.

      ...may temporarily opt out of PMT Meetings, but you must attend all Youth Group nights.

    • D.

      ...must attend all PMT Meetings, but you may have decreased attendance at other Youth Ministry events such as Youth Group.

    Correct Answer
    D. ...must attend all PMT Meetings, but you may have decreased attendance at other Youth Ministry events such as Youth Group.
    Explanation
    If you have a significantly busier sport/extracurricular season, we can be flexible with your attendance at the various Youth Ministry events at which you are usually asked to serve. However, even during this season the team member is expected to continue attending all Sunday PMT meetings.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    How often should you attend Sunday Mass?

    • A.

      Once a week.

    • B.

      Once every two weeks.

    • C.

      Once a month.

    Correct Answer
    A. Once a week.
    Explanation
    We should attend Mass every single week. This is not just a PMT obligation, but an obligation we all have as Catholics. In order to stay united to Jesus, we must receive Him in the Eucharist every week. This means attending Mass every Sunday (or Saturday evening).

    Rate this question:

    Unless otherwise specified, Peer Ministry Team meetings are on Sundays from...

    • A.

      1:15 PM - 3:15 PM during the school year, and from 3:15 PM - 5:15 PM during the summer.

    • B.

      3:15 PM - 5:15 PM during the school year, and from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM during the summer.

    B. 3:15 PM - 5:15 PM during the school year, and from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM during the summer.
    Explanation
    During the school year, meetings are held on Sunday afternoons from 3:15 PM - 5:15 PM in the basement of the Oak Street Church. During the summer, meetings are held on Sunday evenings from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM in the basement of the Oak Street Church.

    • B.

      False.

    B. Help clean up after Youth Group is over.
    C. Leading small groups, when needed.
    D. Stay after for a post-Youth Group debriefing and discussion.

As a member of the PMT (Presbyterian Ministry Team), you would have the responsibility of welcoming new and returning people to the Youth Group, helping clean up after Youth Group is over, leading small groups when needed, and staying after for a post-Youth Group debriefing and discussion. These tasks contribute to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members of the Youth Group and ensuring that the group functions smoothly and effectively.

    Correct Answer
    A. True.
    Explanation

    Correct Answer
    C. You must not make public anything that someone has shared with you in private, during a Youth Ministry event or retreat, or during prayer - unless it presents an immediate and serious danger for that person or for someone else.
    Explanation
    In this ministry, people will come to trust you. You must always respect that trust by never making public what they share with you in private. The only exception is if they told you that they plan on hurting themselves or someone else.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    If you and the Youth Minister determine you are no longer able to remain on the PMT, you should...

    • A.

      ...notify the Youth Minister in person (i.e. face-to-face), and then notify the entire Team either in person or by writing a letter.

    • B.

      ...notify the Youth Minister, and he/she will notify the entire Team.

    • C.

      ...notify the Youth Minister and the entire Team by writing a letter.

    Correct Answer
    A. ...notify the Youth Minister in person (i.e. face-to-face), and then notify the entire Team either in person or by writing a letter.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to notify the Youth Minister in person (i.e. face-to-face), and then notify the entire Team either in person or by writing a letter. This is the most appropriate course of action because it allows for direct communication and ensures that both the Youth Minister and the entire Team are informed of the decision. It also gives the opportunity for any necessary discussions or clarifications to take place.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Every PMT member is expected to dress appropriately and modestly - both girls and guys. This is because...

    • A.

      Nothing should distract us or others from our purpose of ministry.

    • B.

      The PMT is held to a high standard of fashion and style.

    • C.

      Dressing immodestly burns our eyes.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Although dating other members of the PMT is not strictly forbidden, it should be approached with caution because...

    • A.

      Everyone is called to be a priest or a nun anyway.

    • B.

      Dating is sinful.

    • C.

      It can cause a distraction to others, it can be emotional and unpredictable, and it can bring about "drama" that interferes with the Team's ability to work together.

    • D.

      Girls rule and boys drool.

    Correct Answer
    C. It can cause a distraction to others, it can be emotional and unpredictable, and it can bring about "drama" that interferes with the Team's ability to work together.
    Explanation
    Peer Ministry is a team-oriented, others-focused ministry. Dating, by it’s very nature, is couple-oriented and couple-focused. If you do date someone else on PMT, please be conscious of how it affects the rest of the Team.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    In the event two PMT members are dating, public displays of affection (i.e. holding hands, kissing, etc.) are...

      ...to be toned down.

    • B.

      ...okay as long as they aren't too obvious.

    • C.

      ...to be completely invisible to others.

    Correct Answer
    C. ...to be completely invisible to others.
    Explanation
    All public displays of affection should be completely invisible because they are a distraction to everyone else at the meeting or event. Remember, we are not here for ourselves, but to serve other and lead them to Jesus.

    • B.

      ...contact the Youth Minister so you can discuss the possibility of being more flexible with your commitment at that time due to personal circumstances or needs.

      ...decrease your commitment to your school work, since God is more important anyway.

    • D.

      ...hide from the Youth Minister because he is big and scary.

    Correct Answer
    B. ...contact the Youth Minister so you can discuss the possibility of being more flexible with your commitment at that time due to personal circumstances or needs.
    Explanation
    Don’t hesitate to contact the Youth Minister. Please do not simply drop your commitment to the Team without telling anyone, as this can be confusing and even hurtful to the other members of the Team. Membership on the PMT can be flexible depending on your circumstances and needs, and the Youth Minister would be more than happy to discuss this with you.
