If you love Youth Ministry, want to work with college students and contribute to the mission of the Young Church, then this is an opportunity for you!
Our Mission as Christians is to share our faith. In Acts 26:16 we are called to ‘Arise!’ and ‘testify to what we have seen’.
So, how are you sharing your faith?
For me, I always knew I was called to share my experiences with others, but it took me a long time to figure out how I would do that. It wasn’t until I started in youth ministry, I realised this was where I needed to share my testimony. God has called me to inspire, encourage and walk alongside young people in our Church community. I have been able to show them they are not alone in their faith journeys and investigate questions of faith with them. I have found my place in the Mission of the Church and I encourage you to find yours. Our youth need more people investing in them, walking with them and sharing their faith. So, if this is something God is also calling you to, why not give it a go?
Become a Young Church Tuākana in 2022. Be part of the Mission of the Church. Walk with our young people in their colleges, share your faith and show them they matter in the Church.
