Introducing Follow: Real Life. Deep Faith. Lasting Discipleship.
Follow is new, transformative journey for our youth ministry that focuses on real-life application, deepening faith, and fostering lasting discipleship throughout the year.
What is Follow?
Follow is more than just a series of lessons; it's an immersive experience designed to empower our youth to live out their faith in meaningful ways. Each month, we'll dive into topics that resonate with the challenges and opportunities our students face on a daily basis.
- Real Life Application: Follow tackles relevant issues head-on, providing practical guidance and biblical wisdom for navigating the complexities of today's world. From relationships and identity to social justice and personal growth, our youth will discover how faith intersects with every aspect of their lives.
- Deep Faith Exploration: Through engaging discussions, interactive activities, and genuine fellowship, Follow encourages our youth to delve deeper into their faith. They'll explore key biblical teachings, grapple with tough questions, and develop a richer understanding of what it means to follow Jesus in today's context.
- Lasting Discipleship Impact: The ultimate goal of Follow is to cultivate lasting discipleship. Our youth will not only gain knowledge but also experience transformation. They'll be equipped to make a difference in their communities, share their faith authentically, and build relationships that reflect the love of Christ.
Join us on this exciting journey of discovery, growth, and impact with Follow: Real Life. Deep Faith. Lasting Discipleship. Together, let's follow Jesus and make a difference in our world!
