YOUTH MINISTRY

Investing in today’s youth is necessary in growing the body of Christ. Teaching young people in the church to grow in their relationship with the Lord prepares them to serve Christ in all they do. As a result, young people not only prepare to become future leaders, but contribute to the church in many positive ways.
 
This is seen many times in the Bible, as God often used young people to do great things. For example, God used Timothy to pastor and lead the Ephesian church when he was a teenager. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”

NATIONAL CATHOLIC YOUTH CONFERENCE

November 20-22, Indianapolis
Join thousands of Catholic teens from across the country for three unforgettable days of worship, community and transformation. This year’s theme is “I am – Yo Soy”, inspired by God’s appearance to Moses through the burning bush. We’ll explore how the sacraments are the living story of God’s Love, uniting us with Him through Jesus and the Church. Through the sacraments, we encounter the fullness of salvation and the tangible presence of Immanuel – God with us.
