The Adventist Youth Society is a department of the church through which the church works for and through her youth. The primary focus of the Youth ministry is salvation of youth through Jesus Christ. Leading the young into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ and helping them embrace His call to discipleship.
Adventist Youth Aim: To take the Advent Message to all the world in this generation.
Our task is to:
1. Lead youth to understand their individual worth and to discover and develop their spiritual gifts and abilities.
2. Equip and empower youth for a life of service with God’s church and the community.
3. Ensure the integration of youth into all aspects of church life and leadership in order that they might be full participants in the mission of the church
Objectives of Youth Ministry:
-
to train the youth to work for other youth
-
to recruit the youth to help their church and “those who profess to be Sabbath keepers,” and
-
to work “for those who are not of our faith.”—Signs of the Times, May 29, 1893.
In seeking to reach these objectives the youth are called upon to:
-
pray together
-
study the Word together
-
fellowship together in Christian social interaction
-
act together in small groups to carry out well-laid plans for witnessing
-
develop tact and skill and talent in the Master’s service, and
-
encourage one another in spiritual growth.
