Why youth Discipleship?

First, youth discipleship in a local church enables the church to obey Christ by discipling “all” (which includes youth) and to teach “all” that Christ commanded. (Mt 28:19-20; Acts 20:27-28; 2 Ti 4:2). The church, parents, and youth are edified by teachers, in age-appropriate classes, who study 5-8 hours a week and teach an in-depth Bible study. (1Tm1:3, 4:11, Ti2:1,9, Heb 13:17). 


Second, youth discipleship partners with parents who are actively disciplining their teens, and youth discipleship can support and enhance home discipleship (Eph 4:12, 6:1-4). 


Third, youth discipleship supports and disciples those teens who don’t have parents disciplining them at home.


How we do Youth Discipleship?

  •   By integrating our youth into the spiritual and social life of the church. For the Christian teenager, we encourage them to participate in church-wide discipleship of the Sunday services, Men's and Ladies' Ministry, and other serving opportunities.
  •   By discipling teens as we group in youth Bible Studies, youth service opportunities, and discipleship relationships with open communication with parents and never countering/replacing the discipleship of parents.
  •   By recognizing and supporting parent discipleship at home.
  •   By going out to evangelize the youth and teens of our community with the gospel of Christ.
