Program Mission Statement
Westminster Presbyterian Church has charged the youth program with the mission of "Building 21st Century Disciples." We take this charge as direction to prepare our youth to have a faith that, as the center of their lives, is a foundation for how they address, understand, and exist in the world they'll be thrust into in college and beyond. This foundation is built on biblical literacy, building and maintaining a personal relationship with God, and an understanding of our Christian responsibility to the world we live in.
Biblical Literacy
Our students are learning how to use the Bible as resource that will serve their faith today and throughout their lives. Through an understanding of the Bible’s origins and meanings of scripture we help our students find guidance for their lives as they grow and develop a faith that is at the center of their lives through college and beyond.
A Personal Relationship
with God
Prayer and reflection allow us to talk to God and listen for understanding. Our students are learning how the Holy Spirit works in and through us as we go through our lives and how to practically rely on their faith .
Christian Responsibility
Our students are learning that it’s important to not only have a strong personal faith, but that their faith is made true through works. We inspire them, with their faith as base, to find ways in our community and the world to love those who are “the least these”.
