Children and Youth Development
The Office of Youth Development strives to effect real change in the lives of children and youth 6 months old to 19 years of age by providing opportunities for participation in education, training, and activities which will empower them to live continually victorious Christian lives.
The OYD’s primary goals are:
- To connect with children and youth by providing their family with a welcome and introductory packet from the Office of Youth Development
- To provide opportunities for children and youth to discover and present their talents and skills with confidence
- To plan and conduct supervised activities and trainings that will provide opportunities to enhance or create spiritual, personal, social, and recreational development
- To provide opportunities for children and youth to participate in community service projects as well as outreach and evangelism efforts
- To provide opportunities for parental involvement through parent education, training, volunteerism, and information sharing
