No period in life is more critical than the teenage years When it comes to faith formation. Young people often ask: Who am I? What do I believe? How can I live my beliefs? We must be present in the lives of these youth.
We are also surrounded by young adults who seek meaning in their lives, longing to belong and to stand for something of lasting value. We require new ministries that lead them to discover fresh perspectives and a renewed sense of purpose through the call to share God's love with all people.
Your gifts will ensure opportunities for youth to develop meaningful lives of faith and service, creating new generations of church leaders for both today and tomorrow. These opportunities include . . . -
Regional service projects in which youth build meaningful relationships with those from other congregations and faith communities;
-
Innovative programs like "Theology with a Twist" where young adults share in spiritual nurture and fellowship;
-
National and regional celebrations where young people discover there are many who share their need for a meaningful faith and purpose in life;
- Occasions for pastors and lay leaders to strengthen youth leadership skills.
Hopefully, we can count on you as a partner in these valuable ministries that will grow the future of Christ’s church!
