in a ministry setting and also the opportunity to gain the skills to lead
in their everyday environments.

Programming (Matthew 18:20)
o Our youth ministry has many programming opportunities that include
summer camps, DNOWs, retreat weekends, spot trips, etc. These
programming elements are always planned with the intent of our three
mission focuses: Gather, Grow, and Go.
o Every event we plan has a purpose with one of these mission focuses.
With one of these mission focuses being the reasoning behind the
event, our church’s youth is able to attract new students and also
continue to disciple current students.

Partnering with Parents/Guardians and Volunteers (Deuteronomy 6:7–9,
Exodus 20:12, Psalm 78:4)
o The final goal of our youth is not only to connect and build
relationships with our students, but we also want to connect with the
parents on the same level. Parents and guardians have one of the
greatest impacts on their child and their spiritual walk with Christ, so
our youth program wants to play apart in both the students and parents
lives to be a support system for both parties.
o Another focus of our youth program is the volunteers that serve in a
variety of aspects in our students lives. Our youth program wants to
support them in every aspect we can.
