Our youth ministry is determined to cultivate our youth into leaders of tomorrow and we mean \u201cliterally\u201d tomorrow. <br><br>Young people are exposed to more social issues and obstacles than many of us had in our younger years, and they possess more resources than ever before. We understand this does not qualify or elevate them to become leaders, but we believe with the proper spiritual guidance our youth are capable and willing to Learn, Love, and Lead just as Lois and Eunice instilled the faith in young Timothy (2 Tim 1:5). We long to instill this same faith in our youth, that they might mature into young Christian leaders.<br><br>\nI TIMOTHY 4:12\n12 Don\u2019t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set

LOVE 2 LEAD GIVE Youth always hear\u2026You are the church of the future, but are they? Why aren\u2019t they the church of today? Our youth ministry is determined to cultivate our youth into leaders of tomorrow and we mean \u201cliterally\u201d tomorrow. Young people are exposed to more social issues and obstacles than many of us had in our younger years, and they possess more resources than ever before. We understand this does not qualify or elevate them to become leaders, but we believe with the proper spiritual guidance our youth are capable and willing to Learn, Love, and Lead just as Lois and Eunice instilled the faith in young Timothy (2 Tim 1:5). We long to instill this same faith in our youth, that they might mature into young Christian leaders. I TIMOTHY 4:12 12 Don\u2019t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
