Why You Should Be A Part Of The Youth Connect
The Youth Church is a very important department that should help youths grow, spiritually, emotionally, train them to be among the movers and shakers of the world, charge them to involve in politics too its not a game for sinners we need God fearing leaders and we should have a lot from the church, encourage them to go too school, knowledge is power.
Youth need guidance and support as they navigate through the most challenging part of their development and seek to grow in their walk with Christ. Christ-like leaders are needed to serve young members of the congregation and help them to reach their full potential.
OUR VISION
- To help the church focus on the way of Jesus, which goes beyond tradition, dogma, and work.
- To remind the church that teens are not marginalized members of the body, but co-creators and conspirators in the divine work of the church.
- To help ourselves integrate into the larger, intergenerational community of the church.
- To resist the status quo, helping the church stay relevant.
- To focus on inviting those who are not already part of the church into the deeper narrative of God’s plan
Events and programs in the Youth Church are designed for youth to experience opportunities in Evangelism, Spiritual Formation, Christian Leadership, Mission, Fellowship, Scripture and the Episcopal Church.
Youth events strive to provide:
- a safe, loving, and wholesome atmosphere for young people
- a program which helps young people become formed in their faith
- a variety of worship experiences that help young people connect with God and one another
- teaching about the Anglican expression of Christianity
- a means for young people to develop their individual prayer and spiritual life
assistance for young people in developing values, ethical norms, and a sense of Christian community - interaction with adults who authentically model the Christian faith
activities (games, sports, waterfront activities, crafts, etc.) which involve fun and the building of sense of worth
Our hope is that we are raising young people who are committed to Christ, committed to the Episcopal Church, and have the Christian Leadership experience to make a difference
