Youth Ministry

The Federal Way Vineyard youth group kicked off the fall season with two outreach projects – we joined with the younger classes to raise funds and awareness for the Christmas Shoebox project, and in November we joined with other churches for an outreach to the homeless in Tacoma. We will continue to look for opportunities to spread the Good News of the Gospel in relevant ways in our community.

We are looking forward to supporting other programs in the church such as missions, dramas, and worship - bringing the enthusiasm of our youth to bear in God's service for our community and abroad!

PURPOSE

The purpose of youth ministry is to help our young people discover their God-given talents and gifts, and equip them for the work of the ministry. Each one of us is unique in the Lord’s plan, and we are learning to work together to BE the body of Christ.

PASSION

Young people need a sense of belonging and purpose in life. They need to know their worth in the eyes of the Lord, and believe they are important to Him and to the church. Our goal for our young people is that they would know God and mature in their faith as they grow into adults ready to take on the challenges of life. Seeing them react to challenges in life or make tough decisions through their knowledge and understanding of Christ's strength working in them brings joy to all involved.

WHY YOUTH?

Young people are a vital part of the body. Our goal is to teach and encourage them see their potential in Christ, to know His Word and believe it, in order to take Him into their world to make a difference.

GOALS/EXPECTATIONS:

   Learning their significance in Christ through Bible study and a daily prayer life
   Leading in worship, prayer, drama, and teaching
   Laughing and playing together in wholesome activities
   Lending themselves to serving others


Through relevant class discussion/exercises and outside activities, we will strive to grow together, learn the value of healthy relationships that make life awesome, and recognize the worth of each individual. Our goal is to see our young people grow and mature in Christ while having fun and learning to enjoy each other. As we grow in healthy relationships with each other, others will come.
