Youth ministry
Objective
To Lead Our Teens Closer to Christ within an environment engaging with Christ and surrounded by a faith-filled community
What is Youth Discipleship?
When and Where?
Participate in small groups of 4-8 teens, led by at least two adult mentors of the same gender, meeting regularly to explore faith and build relationships.
Why Discipleship?
More than conventional small groups as each is "...devoted... to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" - Acts 2:42.
As Christians, Jesus calls us to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" - Matthew 28:18-19.
Vision
Heading 4
“And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” Matthew 18:3-5

Empower the Next Generation
Volunteer
Please consider helping with the behind the scenes work of youth ministry. We are in need of people to donate food, help prepare food, and/or help with set-up for youth nights.
Become a Mentor
We are always looking for adults that can mentor young people in their faith. It is crucial for young people to have the faith taught to them by their parents and other adults willing to take the time to disciple them in their journey.
VIRTUS Trained
All volunteers in the Archdiocese of Atlanta are required to complete VIRTUS training, a safe environment program designed to help protect children and vulnerable individuals within the Church.
