• To prepare youth for a lifelong walk
with Christ
• To help youth become aware of
God as revealed in Jesus Christ, to
respond to Christ in a personal
commitment of faith, and to follow
God’s will in the full meaning of
church membership and Christian
discipleship. This involves such
things as new convert
classes, mentoring by older
Christians, and involvement of
youth in church committees.

• To guide youth to witness about
their personal faith in Jesus
Christ and to invite others to
respond to Him. This can be
done through evangelism
training, contacts, inviting youth
to visit w/ you, etc.

• To help youth develop a
meaningful and devotional prayer
life. This can be encouraged
through providing quiet time
materials, accountability, journals,
modeling/example, letting youth
know how important it is for you,
asking them for prayer requests
and following through with them,
telling them about your answered
prayers and telling them things
you learned in your personal
prayer time.

• To help youth experience
worship in private and
corporate settings. This can be
done by letting youth help plan
a worship service, having a
youth time in the worship
service, allowing a youth
position on the worship
committee, and having a
retreat on worship.

• To guide youth to participate
in Christian missions and help
them develop the skills these
ministries require. Possible
activities include establishing
a “Food Bank,” special
projects, Bible studies, a
spiritual gift inventory, a youth
swap with another
church, back-yard Bible
Studies, vacation Bible
school, etc.

• To help youth increase their
knowledge and
understanding of Bible
truths and to apply these
truths in every area and
relationship of life. This
involves
discipleship, allowing youth
to teach children, being a
role model, etc.

understanding and
acceptance of self by
affirmation, Biblical concepts
of self-image, giving them
positions of leadership

shows on proper dress, parent
workshops, guest speakers, a
commitment to purity service,

etc.

• To guide youth to explore
their abilities and talents and
develop a Christian
perspective on choosing a
vocation. Helpful possibilities
include talent shows,

tests, giving them leadership
positions, having businessmen
talk to youth, having a youth
career day with
representatives from different
vocations in the church.

• To guide youth in the
stewardship of their
money, time, and abilities.

track of what they spent that
dollar on during the
week), help run a soup
kitchen, case studies, setting
goals, making a
budget, personal
testimonies, seminars

cults, seminars on
cults, studies on basic
beliefs, scripture
knowledge, visiting a service
of another religion and then
having a debrief time, etc.

and inequitable distribution of
resources and power.

Biblical success, sponsoring

good habits in constructive
use of their pleasure time.
• To do this we need to hold
them accountable for their
time, teach them balance
and priorities, and teach
them about morality.

Christian fellowship and
development of social skills. This
can be done by involvement in
full church activities, integration,
