Helping Teens Find Themselves in Christ
Our desire is to disciple teens into a deeper knowledge of who they are in Jesus Christ and teach them to flow in the fruit of the spirit towards others for this glory. Before our teens graduate high school we want them to know these five essentials:
- The Bible is the word of God and is living truth inspired by the Holy Spirit, always pointing to Jesus.
- To know a good and loving father through the person of Jesus Christ.
- A deeper understanding of ur union with Christ as a new creation, a branch to the vine.
- How to honor and respect each other as servant-leaders through love and speaking life.
- The importance of renewing our mind with the good news, as we become aware of the lies of the enemy.
