Youth Ministry
The Purpose of the Youth Ministry
Youth Ministry is for young people aged 16-30 years old. Throughout their adolescence, youth often question issues of faith and are idealistic about life. It is during this time that youth need to be nurtured and cared for in an affirming and non-judgemental manner. They are dealing with major physical, social, intellectual and spir- itual challenges. The youth leader is in many ways the face of Jesus to the young people in the church.
TSDAC Youth
It aims to engage youth in meaningful worship, service, and discipleship, providing resources, mentoring, and programs that cater to their unique stage of life. The Youth ministry has been able to produce several music albums as well as engage in different community service activities and missionary work.
The desired outcomes of the youth program are to:
- Provide opportunities for young people to enter into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ and to help them find their place in God’s service.
- Help the young people grow in their knowl- edge, love and understanding of God.
- Encourage young people to discover their identity, potential, purpose and talents in Christ and use them for His service.
- Create a powerful movement of young peo- ple who have a sense of belonging and owner- ship in their Youth group.
- Have a holistic and intentional youth pro- gram focusing on evangelism, worship, spiritual growth, service, and the needs of the local com- munity.
- Facilitate an active youth group that supports and enhances the broader local church program and focus.
- Build deep and lifelong friendships with youth within the local church and the broader church at Conference or Mission events.
