The leaders of our Youth and Family Ministry at the Winchester Church of Christ met Sunday night and talked about our new mission statement. Without further ado, here it is:"Partnering with families to prepare young people for a lifetime of loving God, loving others, and following Jesus."
Here are some thoughts that accompany the first three parts of this mission statement:
"Partnering With Families." We believe that parents are the most important figures in a young person's life for developing lasting faith. Is that belief reflected in what we do in our ministry? Are we ministering and equipping our families and not just our young people?
"Preparing Young People." Here's something we must also keep in mind: some of our young people will be involved without the support of their parents. Are we doing a good job of preparing them as well?
"For a Lifetime." How are we helping young people successfully transition from high school into the next stage of life? Are we doing everything we can to increase the likelihood that our young people will stay faithful after graduation and for the rest of their lives?
