1. Family is for life; the Church is for eternity
While God has given the family as the primary context for spiritual formation and discipleship, the Church is the eternal family that every earthly family points forward to.
Our Vision:
To partner with and equip parents to fulfill their primary responsibility in discipling their children (our next generation), and to provide youth a context to deepen their relationships with God, parents, and the Church.
We welcome parents with children of any ages (not just youth) to be part of our Parenting group, and strongly encourage them to join us in Youth gatherings to partner with us in the discipleship and gospel influence of the youth.
We believe in these 5 Principles:
2. The Church equips; Parents disciple and influence
The Church comes alongside parents in this sacred task, not to replace or undermine their calling but to strengthen it
3. Parents will need encouragement and accountability
The joys and challenges of parenting are not meant to be faced in isolation but in partnership with others.
4. Youth Ministry is a bridge to the church, not an off-ramp
Our goal is for Youth Ministry to reflect the values and culture of our church so that youth are drawn naturally into the life of the congregation as they grow and mature.
5. Relationships over programming
Youth Ministry isn’t about pragmatic programming, but about cultivating relationships rooted in our shared identity in Christ. We aim to provide a context where youth can intentionally connect with others and deepen their relationship in Christ.
