Statement
of Purpose
The goals of First
Presbyterian, Concord’s Youth Ministry are primarily
twofold:
These goals are
fulfilled in a variety of ways through a broad program in which
youth, working in partner ship with caring adult advisers, name
God’s presence in their lives, explore their Christian faith, build
relationships of trust and vulnerability, and engage in thoughtful
reflection and action with the world outside the church’s walls.
Every aspect of
the ministry also seeks to take into account the PC (USA)’s 5
intentions for Presbyterian Youth Ministry:
- To call
young people to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
- To respond
to the needs and the interests of young people.
- To work
together, youth and adults, in partnership.
- To be
connected to the whole church, community, and the world.
- To include
all young people, reaching out and inviting them to belong to
the community of faith.
