Vision Statement

This is a vision statement which was created during the time of reflection and planning the YAYA sabbath time. As with anything, it is up for discussion. I think that it is a good thing to keep in mind as we enter this Sabbath time. Knowing that we are not alone, that we are a part of a wider community of Christians and the church, not to mention God is with us!

Youth and Youth Adult Ministry is the process by which the faith community is immersed with Youth and Youth Adults in the story and vision of the community toward our mutual transformation.
It includes all the ways the church and its leaders encourage Youth and Youth Adults to participate in Christian practices and faith in action.
The hope of Youth and Youth Adult Ministry is that Youth and Youth Adults will embrace a lifelong commitment to the way of Jesus and make a spirit filled difference in the church and in the world.

These are some questions that I re-read recently from pre-Sabbath Discernment Team meeting (Feb. '07) are ones that I plan on using during my relfection through out the year.

1) What is God calling us to do in YAYA Min.?
2) What does God value about/in YAYA Min?
3) How can the National Level support these values?
