Liberty UMC & Youth Ministry Purpose
[our youth ministry is about more than having fun...]
"Loving, Learning, Listening,
Rejoicing, and Sharing the gift of Jesus Christ."
Loving - ministry
"Love your neighbor as yourself."
Learning - discipleship
"...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
Listening - fellowship
"...baptizing them..."
Rejoicing - worship
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart..."
Sharing - evangelism
"Go and make disciples..."
These 5 purposes can be found in the Bible being taught by Jesus.
Great Commandment: "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and
greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matt.
22:37-40).
Great Commission: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matt. 28:19-20).
