Teen
Welcoming
Three Integrated Components:
• Igniting Youth Handbook
• Teen Seeker Welcome, OrangeFloat.org
• Local Teen Welcoming Tools
The teen welcoming experience has been designed to offer
a teen-relevant United Methodist welcoming experience that,
in context, shares the values, inclusiveness and living-embodiment
of The United Methodist faith community, and actively invites
seeker teens to journey into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Igniting Youth is not just about United Methodist teens
and youth groups. It's for a generation of young people
who need you; who need to hear the word of God in a language
they understand -- a language of texting, blogs and social
networking. Welcome to the brave, new world of teen welcoming,
Igniting Ministry style. Explore the four sections below
for a closer look, ideas and help. Press

Teen Seeker Journey
meeting them where they are
Reaching out to share Christ with this generation requires
a Wesleyan way of communicating. The Internet isn't exactly
the "open face of the sun" that John Wesley encouraged
George Shadford to use, but it has the same limitless potential.

Sharing Our Youth Groups
teen-to-teen
Welcoming is how
we show kindness, acceptance, and hospitality to everyone.
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.
