There are three ways we seek to bring specific ministry to our young people.
First and foremost, teens need discipleship. Everything in a teen's world is changing. Their bodies are changing, their relationships are changing, their opportunties are changing, and more. In all this change, teens need a trusted person or two who can help them know "how to obsvere all that I have commanded you" as Jesus called for in the great commission. Parents are the key player in this. But others are needed as well. We seek to connect each teen with a willing and able person who can help them grow in biblical convictions, godly character and serving competence.
Secondly, we meet every Wednesday evening for Bible study and fellowship. We rotate between a large group gathering that spends time in fellowship and the study of a Bible book or a series on Biblical living. The other Wednesday the guys and girls break into their own groups and meet as discipleship groups with leaders who help them make life applications.
Thirdly, we also plan regular activites that rotate between service/ministry projects and fun/fellowship outings.
