YOUTH | newvillage

Grades 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th

Biblically based lessons embrace the urban vernacular S.W.A.G. (Sealed With God’s Abundant Grace) and

impressed on youth how young people should present themselves with Christian SWAG. In lively

discussions and role play, this ministry deals with the realities of what youth deal with on a day to day

basis using God’s Word to address Christian character, peer pressure, goal setting, and other issues that

our youth encounter.

 Yearly, a comprehensive holistic program fosters spiritual formation and inspires confirmands to

respond to Jesus' call to be His disciples.

 Grades 6th, 7th, and 8th (or any youth who has not been confirmed)

 Each summer, specialized fun, energetic, and engaging spiritual formation allows children and

youth the opportunity to carry out “The Great Commission” (Matthew 28:16-20).

But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22 (NKJV)

Prayerfully chosen mission trips and local outreach opportunities allow children and youth to serve and be

doers of God’s Word.

Quarterly service outings allow children and youth to support our local community.

MISSION TRIPS

Short term mission trips allow children and youth to discover their faith in new and meaningful

ways.

CAMPS

Summer camp at Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center provides opportunities for children and youth

to experience loving Christian community and be shaped by God’s grace in God’s creation.

Children and youth are encouraged and supported to participate in events at the district and conference

level. These gatherings serve to love and nurture children and youth in additional settings that foster

spiritual formation.

Volunteer opportunities are available in all areas of Children and Youth Ministries. Whether you would like

to teach a class, chaperone on outings, or provide supervision; whatever your skill, we welcome and need

your support. Please take time to submit your application below.

At The Village, we believe “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child.” The 1615 Investment (1615 is the physical

address of The Village) provides financial support for the Children and Youth Ministries via a monthly

commitment of $16.15. We want the children and youth to focus on their spiritual formation and ministry

instead of fundraising. Contributions can be made at the following Online Giving link.

Thank you for blessing the children and youth.
