Youth Ministry
Youth Fellowship
Sunday Evenings
7:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M.
At Connecticut Farms Church we are dedicated to providing our youth with programs and people that deepen their faith in Jesus Christ and strengthen their moral, spiritual and intellectual commitment to God's way.
We offer our youth, 6th grade and above: devotions, outreach programs, monthly outings and evenings of fun and fellowship.
Come out and join us!
Youth Ministry Mission Statement
The Goals of Youth Ministry Are...
- to provide youth an experience of Christian community.
- to provide youth a context for discussing the interaction of scripture, faith, and issues in their personal life.
- to develop in youth a commitment to following Christ's call to serve and love one another in mission.
- to develop in youth a sense of the importance of worship.
- to provide adult Christian role models and mentors, from a variety of lifestyles and ages if possible.
- to provide youth a grounding in the faith and the church that will both help the youth now and stand them in good stead in the future.
- to provide youth an alternative peer environment.
- to provide youth broader contact with and greater opportunities for service to Connecticut Farms Church.
- to develop leadership skills in youth.
Our Youth Leaders will use this mission statement to measure and evaluate our program for the coming year. We ask that you keep us and our teens in your prayers as we attempt to strengthen their relationship with us, with each other, and with our risen Lord.
Update: September 2010
It seems hard to believe that another summer has already come to an end, but here we are in September and beginning another program year. The summer is always a welcome relief from the hectic schedule that comes with working with our youth ministry.
It hasn't been a complete vacation though because our youth leaders and chaperones planned and attended two separate events during the summer months. In July, our group went white water rafting on the Delaware River. This has been a favorite event of our teens throughout the years. In the middle of the dog days of August, our group spent a day riding and sliding at Dorney Park. This is another excursion that seems to be popular with our teens.
Summer is ending and that means our program is ratcheting up for a full program schedule. Stay tuned for details about what we're doing and where we’re going and, as always, please pray for our young people and our adult leaders.
