Mission Statement
The mission of Greater Youth & Teen Ministry is to reach, teach, disciple, equip, and empower youth and teens to develop a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.

Theme Scripture
1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
A second excellent foundational scripture is Jeremiah 29:11, especially because the ministry name and church identity emphasize destiny and purpose.
Core Values
Faith • Discipleship • Identity • Purpose • Fellowship • Service • Leadership
This gives Greater Youth & Teen Ministry a strong foundation that can work for children transitioning into youth ministry as well as teenagers preparing for adulthood. It also gives you clear areas around which to build Bible studies, youth nights, outings, service projects, leadership opportunities, and annual events.
