Grace Youth

Purpose of Grace Youth

The purpose of any Christian ministry is to give God glory. It includes seeing teenagers as essential members of the body of Christ. As we reach out to them in love, demonstrating acceptance and understanding, we begin the process of channeling their creative energy for Christ. As we model godly living we help them understand God’s active involvement in day to day living.  As we lay our lives on the line for them, they begin to see their worth to God. Only when we see teenagers as people with real needs can we begin to have an effect on them. They must become more than numbers or programs. They must become young people for whom Christ died.

Target of Grace Youth
 

We must challenge students to personal growth through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, so their lives will reflect:

• Respect, love and dependance on God and His word.  (worship, teaching & doctrinal purity)

• Friendships of integrity  (accountability & caring relationships)

• Sharing their faith (being real, a missionary on campus & at home)

• Involvement in church (serving, small groups & body life)

• Ownership of faith, making their faith their own  (humility, commitment & holiness)

The focus of ministry is people, not programs.

Philosophy of Ministry

• The foundation for Grace Youth is our Lord Jesus Christ, not human activity.

• The guide for Grace Youth is the Bible, not human wisdom.

• The focus of Grace Youth is people, not programs.

• The goal of Grace Youth is to mature Christians, not simply outreach.
• The environment for Grace Youth is body life, not individualism.

• The process of Grace Youth is spiritual reproduction, not spiritual additions.
