Youth Ministry  More than Sunday School

Youth Ministry is for grades 7 and up

Saint Timothy's utilizes Leader Resources from the Center for Youth Ministry which includes 40+ christian educational resources.

We use their Journey to Adulthood Program as a foundation for Sunday School programs.

The Journey Program is based on two key concepts:

  • Manhood and Womanhood is a gift from God.
  • Adulthood is earned.

Youth Ministry works on the philosophy that Christian Formation is a life-long process and that youth need a firm foundation on which to build toward their adult life.

With this in mind, there is a continual exploration of the four aspects of a whole person:

  • Self
  • Spirituality
  • Sexuality
  • Society

Through a systematic curriculum relating Scripture to everyday life, this program instructs youth in skills needed for successful participation in the church and in society.

The Journey Program is broken into three distinct phases:

  • Rite 13 (grades 7 & 8)
  • J2A (grades 9 & 10)
  • YAC: Young Adults in Church (grades 11 & up)
  • All phases include:

    • Bible Study
    • Prayer
    • Outreach
    • Both Serious and Social Activities
    • Classes In Action
