Youth Alive Update from Pastor Jimmy and Ashley Albert

 

About Youth Alive

Youth Alive is a ministry committed to guiding young adults on their spiritual journey. We are dedicated to nurturing the faith of our youth and empowering them to become engaged members of their community. What sets us apart is our commitment to accessibility; we offer house-to-house pickup for our youth group to ensure every young person has the opportunity to participate and thrive.

Our ministry is built on a foundation of service and evangelism. We have shared our message within the community and local schools, inspiring young people to deepen their faith and create a positive impact. Through our teachings and community outreach, we aim to develop a new generation of leaders equipped to serve others and share the love of Christ.

Mission Statement

To teach and guide youth through the Holy Spirit to be on target with God in every aspect and decision they make in their life. To be relevant in their lives. Knowing and trusting in God that he will never fail them. To alter the thinking that youth have about God and renew their mind by reminding them of the grace and faithfulness that God has given us and shown us through the Word of God.
 
Youth Alive focus or (mission statement) has been to Connect, Go, and Grow. We are always asking in what ways can we Connect to God, the church and each other. How we can Go outside of our comfort zone both in the church & outside of our walls into the community and reach the lost & hurting. How can we teach the youth to Grow closer to God and his Word, so that we are maturing as Christians?

Age Group

Youth Alive is a ministry for ages 13 to young adult.

Service Time

Youth Alive meets Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. in the youth activity center at the church.
