Welcome to the Youth Sanctuary
“Called Out, Set Apart, Sent In”
Scripture Foundation:
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.” – 1 Peter 2:9–10
Vision
To raise up a generation of young people who know their identity in Christ, walk in holiness, and boldly proclaim the hope of the gospel in their schools, communities, and beyond.
Core Pillars
- 1. Identity in Christ (Chosen Generation) Helping students understand that they are not defined by culture, peers, or mistakes, but by God’s calling and love. We will root their worth and identity in Christ alone.
- 2. Spiritual Leadership (Royal Priesthood) Equipping youth to stand as spiritual leaders among their peers—interceding, serving, and shining as examples of faith in everyday life.
- 3. Holiness and Distinction (Holy Nation) Encouraging youth to live set-apart lives, not blending into darkness, but being light-bearers who reflect God’s character in word and deed.
- 4. Gospel Proclamation (Proclaim His Praises) Inspiring students to boldly share their testimonies and the truth of Jesus, showing gratitude for the mercy they’ve received by extending it to others.
All the tools you’ll need
To Live A Godly Life
In the Apostle Paul’s letter to his young protege, Timothy, Paul exhorts him to, “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” The fact is that our youth have so much to contribute to the church family, that is why we feel compelled to disciple our youth to give them tools they need to live as Paul commanded Timothy.
IN WORD
Our privilege is to instruct the youth of our fellowship in the immutable, infallible, WORD of God. By pouring our students into the WORD of God, we find that they are better prepared to give an account of the hope that is within them. We encourage our youth to take ownership of their faith so that they can begin forging their lives around the living WORD.
IN CONDUCT
Left to themselves, the youth have no clear direction and have a tendency to live out undisciplined lives (Proverbs 29:15). Our youth are taught the full counsel of the WORD of God so that they can imitate godly behavior and exemplify the lives of believers in their conduct within the body of Christ and as they engage the world.
IN LOVE
God is love. It is our desire that the youth of our fellowship will come to know the LORD, Jesus, Christ in a deep, intimate way. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for us that the expression of His love would be lived out through us and our encounters with others in our sphere of influence. Our hope is that the love of Christ would exude from the members of our youth to all they encounter.
IN SPIRIT
When we think of teenagers we often think of "teenage angst," and the torrents of hormonal changes that accompany this time in their lives. Helping our youth to understand that they are fearfully and wonderfully created in the image of the Creator helps put things into perspective. This empowers our youth to project a positive attitude regardless of circumstances.
IN FAITH
Faith and faithfulness are two sides of the same coin, in that in order to live out lives faithfully before God, in accordance with His will, we must first attain the faith which He alone supplies. We know then that faith comes by hearing the WORD of God. Our aim is to provide our youth with the tools they need to know their faith, test their faith, and grow their faith during this season of their lives.
IN PURITY
The world is engaged in battle for the minds and bodies of our youth. We believe and model the sanctity of marriage in our youth and encourage our young believers to honor one another by making purity the primary pursuit in a world pushes deceptions about love and relationships from all directions.
