The purpose of the youth
ministry programs at Faith is to:
-
Strengthen, build
up, and encourage one another in the Body of Christ.
- Recognize and nurture God-given gifts
and abilities.
-
Foster Christian
stewardship of time, talents, and resources in all areas of
ministry.
-
Foster fellowship
and community with others, and to develop an attitude of service
to and caring for all humanity.
-
Deepen our relationship
in the Triune God, and to examine and apply that relationship
as it relates to our daily lives.
This group is made up
of all confirmed youth in grades 9 through 12. LYF meets at least
twice a month for events consisting of retreats, athletic events,
service projects, and several major outings. Some of the major
outings include skiing in Colorado, the annual South Dakota Youth
Gathering, as well as the triennial National Youth Gathering.
The LYF is governed by the executive board and class representatives
which are elected by members of the LYF each year. Together with
the vicar and pastor this group plans the upcoming events and
leads the activities.
