Youth and Families

The goal of the Youth and Family ministry is to:

  • Bridge the gaps between Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Young Adult, and Senior Ministry.

  • Equipping the saints for ministry, first in their own home (Ephesians 4:11-13), then in the world (Acts 2:39).

  • Give parents and caregivers (e.g. grandparents and others) a deep conviction in knowing that they are primarily responsible for training and disciplining their children.

  • Equip and encourage families to be so Christ-centered that their faith is not only passed from one generation to the next, but each family is a living sermon that preaches Christ to the world.

Youth and Family Ministry is the process of intentionally and persistently coordinating a ministry’s proclamation and practices so that parents are acknowledged, trained, and held accountable as primary-disciple makers in their children’s lives. It is the church parenting with the parents, showing them how to live out the Gospel in everyday life practically.

Youth and Family Ministry:

  • Is NOT creating another ministry composed of more activities and events to keep the church busy.

  • Is NOT fragmented into its own domain.

  • Is NOT a ministry of structured and organized activities.

  • Is NOT a cure for all church and family-related issues.

We invite you to join us in this ministry!
