Teen Ministry
TEEN = Super fun – Loving – Spiritual – Hilarious – Energetic – Silly (only when appropriate of course) – Encouraging – Talented – Full of memories – And just plain cool!
God has given the South Cities Ministry a desire to meet the spiritual needs of our teens. The purpose of the Metro South Cities Teen Ministry is to see our young people become spiritually mature individuals (Ephesians 4:11-13). We know that a young person will mature spiritually as their relationship with God grows (Philippians 3:10). Therefore, we emphasize a personal, growing relationship with God through daily Bible reading and prayer. Our purpose is accomplished through the following: Bible Knowledge - studying and knowing God's Word in order to apply it to life situations (2 Timothy 3:15-17) Biblical knowledge should direct us toward a personal relationship with Christ. Character Development - learning to exhibit a Christ-like attitude in every situation of life (Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-9; Philippians 2:5) Evangelism & Discipleship - spreading the Gospel and helping others grow spiritually (Matthew 28:19,20) Calling all parents! Parents serve a vital role in our Teen Ministry. If our ministry accomplishes the above purposes, it will strengthen individual homes and families. Because God has ordained the home to teach and train children, the teen ministry must complement the parents as a 'parent-helper' in their teaching and training. Our ministry will always seek to build loyalty in and around the home. This involves teen to parent and parent to teen (Malachi 4:6). We look forward to building memories together, being inspired by great lessons, encouraged by great fellowship and called higher in our lives! |
