Partner Manual Ministry To Children

Will they choose alcohol, drugs and pre‐marital sex? Will his or her lifestyle be conformed to what everyone else is doing? Will they choose the philosophy of humanism and view Christ as only an illusion? EMPHATICALLY, NO!! The youth of Spirit of Faith Christian Center are being taught about the importance of making quality decisions based on the Word of God. They are choosing that which leads to BLESSINGS, not curses, LIFE, not death. With the expertise of our Youth Ministry Staff, our youth are setting the pace for their generation.

The purpose of the Spirit of Faith Christian Center Youth Department is to minister to the needs of youth from birth until the age of 19 by providing ways for youth to understand and know God. Our challenge is to share and enable the youth to experience the Gospel ‐ the Good News of God ‐ in every possible way, using every medium to convey it over and over. The ultimate result is that they choose Christ!
