The Youth Department, usually referred to as the AY department (Adventist Youth) work closely with the youth of the church.
Who are the youth?
There are 3 categories of youth, these being:
- Junior Youth - Adventurers: ages 6-9 & Pathfinders: Ages 10-15
- Senior Youth - Ambassadors: ages 16-21 & Young Adults: ages 22-30+
- Public Campus students - Ages: 16-30+
Here in the Youth Department, we have two main aims;
- To ensure that the youth are able to regularly access informative and spiritually uplifting programmes
- To teach and empower the youth spiritually and mentally
Under the Youth Department, youth are to work together, in cooperation with the wider church community, towards the development of a strong youth ministry that includes spiritual, mental, and physical development of each individual and Christian social interaction.
Why are the youth important?
Ellen White states:
“With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world!”—MYP (Messages to Young People) page 196.
When do the youth Programs take place?
The programs take place on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Saturday of the month from 3:30pm onwards.
We gladly invite anyone interested to come along to our Youth program, looking forward to seeing you soon!
