Church of All Nations Youth Ministry
=============================
The Church of All Nations Youth Ministry is open for 7th Grade - Age 19. We have opportunities for those who are older to volunteer and serve, and those that are younger can participate in our vibrant Kidsnation ministry headed by Sharon Swift.
We have completed our initial schedule for the year - we know things are a little different than in any of the 10 years prior of this church, but these are new days. We will be studying the life of Jesus together, as well as having some fun along the way.
Our vision? To form deep and lasting relationships with each teen and create an environment where they can grow in spirit and truth. We desire to teach them the Word, live it out before them, and help them grow into the Godly men and women they are called to be. We wish to provide them a support system, connecting them with other men and women in our church that can provide prayer and encouragement on the journey as well as deepening their relationships with their own parents and families during these challenging/exciting years.
This year's schedule, obviously subject to change, is as follows:
January: Sunday night Bible study at the Cookmans - Life of Jesus
