Student ministry

If we don’t teach them, who will?

Beloved, today we reflect on the vital importance of ministering to our youth. As 1 Timothy 4:12 reminds us, “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”

Youth ministry is not just about entertaining our young people; it’s about nurturing the future of our faith. Statistics show that 94% of Christians surrendered their lives to Jesus before the age of 18. This underscores the critical role we play in shaping the spiritual lives of our youth.

Our teenagers are seeking purpose, meaning, and hope in a world full of challenges. They need more than just activities; they need authentic relationships with mature believers who can guide them towards Christ. By investing in our youth, we’re not just building the church of tomorrow – we’re strengthening the body of Christ today.

Youth ministry provides a space for our young people to explore their faith, ask difficult questions, and develop a personal relationship with God. It’s where they learn to apply biblical truths to their daily lives and where they can find support as they navigate the complexities of adolescence.

Let us commit to creating an environment where our youth can grow spiritually, serve others, and become the leaders God has called them to be. For in nurturing their faith, we are securing the future of our church and fulfilling Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations.
