Daily Mission

Youth today have busy and active lives, fully stimulated by a culture of computers, text messaging, cell phones, blackberries, virtual on-line lives, MTV and every other form of media. One of the gifts that youth ministry can offer our young people is a space for quiet, a space for listening, a space for conversations with each other and with God. Many of our youth have no other place in their lives where praying is part of their life and the way they live it. Helping prayer to be “written upon their hearts” is a great gift. “Prayer is, above all, a means of forming character. It combines freedom and power with service and love.” Through prayer our desires become more about participating in the love of Christ and less about getting what we thought we wanted. It is important that our youth understand that the church believes that to pray in Jesus’ name means that we partner with Christ. In that sense as “we get to know who Jesus is, so we find ourselves drawn into Jesus’ life and love and sense

Outlook of our Ministry

A place where all are welcome; All gifts used, even gifts still in the rough; A place where we can make mistakes and laugh and learn, And rely on God’s grace. A place where we “build each other up” And gently “teach and admonish each other in all wisdom” But we never punish or shame. A place where the youth are known by name; Where friendship blossoms between young and old; Where the generations learn from each other. A place where we eat good food (and some junk food too,) Where we learn the art of conversation, And remember how to play. A place where the stories of our faith connect with our own life stories; And we didn’t even know it was “Bible Study” we were doing. A place where we learn to pray and praise. A place where care about the details of each other’s lives. A place we come to serve others and in so doing discover our gifts, power, confidence and ability to lead
