“The role of youth ministry is to bring teenagers into the presence of a God who is beyond words, definition or confinement; to create opportunities for teenagers to be awed by God’s presence and stunned by God’s bigness; to show them a God who will leave them speechless, full of wonder and astonishment.”
-Mike Yaconelli
“BE”
One of our highest priorities as a ministry is to create “sacred space” for our students. We strive to create an environment where students can come and experience God in the midst of the stress of life. We create moments of sacred space in order that our students can simply BE in the presence of God.
“Think”
It is our belief that as students grow cognitively during the years of adolescence, we have a responsibly to create environments where faith issues can be thought out and processed by our students. It is our goal to help our students engage the story of God with their heart, mind and soul.
“DO”
We believe that “doing” faith, teaches us things about God that we cannot learn any other way. We strive to create opportunities for our students that will not only allow students to use their gifts in ministry, but we teach them how to do it. Our goal is that when students graduate from Wieuca, they are well equipped to know, use and serve with the gifts God has given them.
