Vision Statement for Youth Ministry
- We are female and male, of all ages and conditions.
- We come from many social, economic,
and racial/ethnic backgrounds. As God's children,
we are called into a loving relationship with our creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.
- We experience God's love as the Holy Spirit leads us in the living of life.
- We are part of the Reformed family of faith.
- We experience God's love and grace through prayer, worship, service, the study of scripture and history, our participation in the church as the body of Christ, our partnership with people of other faiths, and our ministry of seeking justice for all people.
- We are a vital part of the church and its mission. Through youth ministry, we are nurtured as the church responds to our needs and interests and as we give and share ourselves in the church's mission and ministry.
- Where each young person is called to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and is helped to grow in a dynamic, genuine and meaningful faith;
- Where young people are involved throughout the church's life and are able to take risks in a supportive community without fear of rejection.
- Where young people are educated within their congregations and in institutions both secular and sacred, and are supported in their quest for truth and knowledge in all disciplines.
- Where youth and adults together as partners create a community which celebrates diversity and cherishes each other's gifts.
- Where youth are challenged and enabled to respond to God's call to wholeness in their lives and in the world, and
- Where young people discover and claim over and over again the Good News of God's redeeming and sustaining love.
- "Where there is no vision, the people will perish." - Proverbs 29:18
- Without vision, youth ministry becomes lifeless.
- This vision, which we claim, seeks wholeness and life for all people as children of God.
