Our Purpose
Grace Youth Ministry is about CONNECTING through Authentic Relationships…With God…&…With Others
The Youth Ministry of Grace Church is a Great Commandment / Great Commission Youth Ministry. The Grace Youth provides a safe environment where students can find acceptance and love through experiencing a close community. We exist both to meet students right where they are on their spiritual journey and to challenge them to walk closer with the Lord as they go through life. We aspire to help students discover their spiritual gifts; see them grow in the skills of those gifts; and ultimately help them to use their gifts to serve others in the body of Christ. Through our fun, events, and programs; we desire to reflect the priorities of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
To KNOW Christ (Encounter)
To GROW in Christ (Embrace)
To GO share Christ (Empowered)
To SHOW Christ (Endowed)
We desire to provide opportunities for every student to Encounter Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Once they KNOW Jesus as their Savior, we seek to help them Embrace His truth for their lives. As they continue to grow we aspire to help them discover how to be Empowered by His Spirit to share His Good News within the sphere of influence God has placed them in. We want to help them understand that being Endowed with His power they will be a reflection of Jesus Christ to the world around them. We pray they will choose to follow hard after Jesus Christ and to live their lives for His Purpose here on earth, for the glory of God.
