Mission Youth
Helping Students Take One Step Closer to JesusHi, I’m Adam, the Youth Pastor for The Mission Church. Here at Mission Youth we are striving to introduce the next generation to a living God, connect them to a biblical community, and empower them to live a Christ centered life. What that means is that we want to help each student we interact with to take one step closer to Jesus. That looks different for each student. Whether it’s by accepting Jesus as their Savior, attending our Wednesday Night Gathering, committing to a Student Life Group, or being intentional in discipleship with one of our awesome leaders – our goal is to meet each student where they are at, and help them take one step closer to being a fully functioning follower of Jesus.
I want to encourage anyone visiting this page to browse around, get to know our ministry, and seriously consider how you can help in seeing the next generation take one step closer to Jesus.
As a Ministry
WE FOCUS ON THREE THINGS:
_____________________________
- We are all about making disciples of Jesus Christ, and we believe that relationships are the backbone to growing in our faith. We are striving to reach every student in the Des Moines area with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
- Helping our students grow in their relationship with Christ. To do this we offer distinct programming for both Junior and Senior High groups, while strategically mixing the two as a way for older students to act as “big brothers and sisters.”
- Empowering our families to live for Christ. We prioritize partnering with parents. God has ordained parents/guardians as the primary disciple-makers of their kids and the role of the church is to support that effort to the best of our ability. We love parents helping in a variety of ways and encourage frequent communication between parents and leaders/staff.
Summer Bible Study - In The Backdoor
WEDNESDAYS @ 6:30pm
There is some strange theology in our world today. Some is based upon the Word of God, and others are not. Sadly, some of these strange beliefs have infiltrated many good churches. What are those beliefs? What theology should we be wary of? How do we identify them? These are all questions that we will seek to answer during our Summer Bible Study by watching and discussing the two American Gospel documentaries.
We will be spending about 45 minutes every Wednesday watching a portion of the American Gospel documentaries, we will fill out a note guide that follows along, and then we will spend time, as a group, discussing what we just watched. Our hope is that we will be able to identify, understand, and combat some faulty theology that has found itself into many churches today.
DISCIPLESHIP
We think it is vitally important that each student be involved in the discipleship process in some way. Below you will find links to some discipleship material. After going through one of these books, you will be able to disciple another person! We’d love for you to join our discipleship revolution. Print off the books, grab a friend, or two, and some coffee, and dig into God’s Word!
