1. Evangelism focused
on youth and their families. The youth department
goals are to focus on evangelism to young people and their entire
family. 2. Disciple Youth.
We want to build a program through which God is shaping the lives
for now, for adulthood and for eternity. 3.
Minister to Parents of Youth. This involves counseling
with parents and families. Teenagers are going through a lot of
things at this time in their life and we need to teach parents how
to relate to their teenagers in areas such as: how to help your
teenager choose friends, guiding your teenagers dating life, understanding
the changes in puberty, preparing your teenager for college, understanding
how teenagers think, helping your teenager relate to authority,
looking at chemical abuse, and teaching sex education in the home.
We must be and aid to parents of teenagers not a hindrance.
4. Interpret and undergird the work
of the church and the denomination.
The youth department must support the other organizations of the
church and incorporate the youth with the other organizations of
the church because the youth are a part of the body. |
