| THE GOAL of our youth
ministry is to impact the lives of young Christians and their
peers through fellowship and education in the Lord. This ministry involves teens from grades 6 to 12. To build
up the Christian lives of teens, the O’Fallon Church of Christ
youth ministry uses a three-fold approach of Service, Outreach and
Support for leading young people to God.
SERVICE
Mark 10:45
"For even the Son of Man did not come
to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many."
The O’Fallon Church of Christ youth group strives to serve
all people. We know that Jesus came to serve. He illustrated that
by washing his disciples feet. He proved to them that serving
others was a very important part of his ministry. We feel it is
also an important part of our ministry.
OUTREACH
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the
world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever
believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not
believe will be condemned."
The O’Fallon Church of Christ youth group feels this is the
most important part of our ministry. We want to spread the gospel
to all parts of the world. As teens from the community come our
doors, we make a point to meet them. The teens are also encouraged
to invite friends whenever possible so that they may participate
in and receive the joys of being a Christian.
SUPPORT
Galatians 6:2
Carry each other's burdens, and in this
way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
The O’Fallon Church of Christ youth group works to support
one another. We strive to create a foundation for youth to grow
and continue in long-term spiritual growth. Sunday mornings at 9
a.m. and Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m., the youth are encouraged to
attend classes specifically focused on their needs and level of
spiritual development. The teens in the youth group work together
through the challenges they face in today’s world.
