IGNITING
YOUTH
In
a nation that's becoming more unchurched all the time,
we need to ensure that teen seekers encounter in us
a Christ that they want to know better.
A
new youth welcoming program has been developed
to offer teen seekers a United Methodist welcoming experience,
and actively invite them to journey into a relationship
with Jesus Christ.
This
new program brings the teen voice to the welcoming ministry
of the Church through creative youth group training
and online interactivity. There
are many simple ways to bring teen welcoming to your
church. Interested? [more]
