16 Youth Ministry Trinin Cours (A cours for thos skd or dsirin to ld SDA youth s 16 to 30) I. Introduction to th philosophy of SDA Youth Ministry t thr lvls 1 hour A. Ovrviw 10 minuts hilosophy nd Tholoy for Youth Ministry: Workin with youn popl cn b on of th richst nd most rwrdin xprincs in ministry. To fc up to th chlln of findin mninful nswrs to thir qustions cn provd to b dply stisfyin nd fulfillin. On th othr hnd, tryin to undrstnd thir nds nd stisfyin thir dmnds s thy srch for mnin nd purpos in lif cn b xtrmly frustrtin. Howvr, th rtst sns of chivmnt in ministry coms whn youth ldr ss youn popl rsolv thir srch for idntity nd blonin by mkin commitmnt to ntr into lif-lon rltionship with God; by invitin Jsus Christ to b Lord of thir livs. In spit of ths possibilitis, mny popl hrdly know whr to bin. It is rl chlln to know how to sustin n onoin ministry tht will mt th vr-chnin nds nd dmnds of this roup. In n ffort to do somthin for youn popl mny so oftn sttl for providin thm simply with plnty of fun nd ms in th hop tht thy will soon outrow thir youthful st nd chnnl thir boundlss nris into somthin mninful nd worthwhil. Th church hs put tothr rlvnt nd ffctiv youth ministry. To forfit our rsponsibility to ffctivly involv youn popl in th ministry of th church is to plc t risk th whol futur of God s Kindom. Much of th inffctivnss in youth ministry is rltd to lck of dirction nd undrstndin bout wht nds to b chivd. W nd to stblish clr nd simpl sttmnt tht outlins our philosophy of ministry, for, nd with youn popl. This philosophy of ministry nds to b bibliclly bsd nd tholoiclly sound. It must b rlvnt to th contmporry nds of youn popl nd provid dqut nswrs to ll th vitl issus nd concrns tht thy fc. To b sn s succssful it must b prcticl nd chiv th commitmnt nd involvmnt of youn popl in th fllowship nd mission of th church. Youth ministry is not somthin tht xists lonsid th ministry of th church. It is n intrl prt of th church nd its ministry. Its philosophy is bsd on th sm foundtionl principls tht undr ird th ministry of th whol church. Th four indpndnt forcs tht sustind th lif of th rly church (s Acts 2:42-47) nd continu to provid motivtion for th rowth of th church tody r th sm dynmics in ll succssful youth ministry. 16 Youth Ldrship Awrd Mnul

17 Th onoin intrply of ths dynmics in nd throuh th church my b brokn down s follows: Fllowship: Christinity bins with nd is bout rltionships in which individuls r bondd tothr in fllowship with Christ nd on nothr. Th church dmonstrts its wrm fllowship throuh its lov for nd ccptnc of youn popl. Nurtur: Throuh fllowship, prsonl nd spiritul rowth is nurturd. Th Christin church shows its undrstndin of th dvlopmntl nds of youn popl (nd dults) nd how to fcilitt tht rowth. A synonym is mntorin. Worship: Worship is clbrtion of ths rltionships. Th community of fith hs th bility to rls in youn popl sns of clbrtion in corport worship nd individul pris of God. Mission: Mission is th church s intntionl pln to xtnd ths rltionships to othrs. It chivs this throuh th ffirmtion of th individul youn prson s spiritul ifts nd th utiliztion of ths ifts in rchin out byond himslf or hrslf to uncommittd youn popl nd dults. Advntist Youth Ministry is spcilizd ministry of th church tht (1) sks to ddrss th prticulr nds of youn popl in thir own nvironmnt nd rspond to thm s thy r, nd (2) to incorport thm into th fllowship of th church crin Christin community This whol modl of youth ministry is ivn xprssion throuh individuls who, in thir livs, rflct th lif nd ministry of th incrnt Christ. Just s H humbld Himslf nd lft th loris of hvn to idntify with sinful humnity, so in simpl humility youth ministry sks to com to youn popl whr thy r nd offr to thm sns of lov, ccptnc, nd blonin. This xprinc nbls youn prson to bin to ffirm his or hr own vlu nd worth s n individul s son or duhtr of God. With mor positiv slf-stm th youn prson is bl to ffirm his or hr own potntilitis nd ifts nd iv xprssion to his or hr rtitud nd pris to God (whos lov hs bn dmonstrtd throuh th crin ctions of th church community). In committin himslf or hrslf to row in God s lov, th youn prson now bins to rspond to th chlln of shrin tht lov with othrs nd invitin thm to join in th clbrtion of th kindom. This is ll in nticiption of th soon rturn of th Kin Jsus Christ. 17 Youth Ldrship Awrd Mnul

18 B. Advnturrs 10 minuts Th church s rtst rsourc is our childrn. Thrfor, it is imprtiv tht s church w mt th chlln to provid prorm for our childrn durin thir rly, formtiv yrs. W wnt riht hbits, thouhts, motivs, dispositions, nd ttituds to b stblishd. Th Wis Mn wrot, Brin up child in th wy h should o, nd whn h is old h will not turn from it (rov. 22:6, NIV). This is mor thn cliché-it is scintific formul. This is th purpos for dvlopin th Advnturr Club. hilosophy of th Advnturr Club Th Advnturr Club is Svnth-dy Advntist church sponsord ministry opn to ll childrn s 6-9, in which th church, hom nd school join tothr to hlp childrn row joyfully in wisdom nd sttur nd in fvor with God nd mn. Th Advnturr Club is offrd to ssist prnts in mkin th dvlopmnt of thir child richr nd mor mninful. Objctivs Th Advnturr Club provids fun nd crtiv wys for childrn... to dvlop Christ-lik chrctr; to xprinc th joy nd stisfction of doin thins wll; to xprss thir lov for Jsus in nturl wy; to lrn ood sportsmnship nd strnthn thir bility to t lon with othrs; to discovr thir God-ivn bilitis nd to lrn how to us thm to bnfit slf nd srv othrs; to discovr God s world; to improv thir undrstndin of wht mks fmilis stron; to dvlop prntl support for th trinin of childrn. Diffrnc btwn thfindrs nd Advnturrs Th Advnturr Club hs bn crtd so younr childrn my hv club of thir own. Th prormmin nd plnnin for th Advnturr Club should b simpl nd short, but crtiv. In som wys th thfindr nd Advnturr Clubs r similr, but th Advnturr prorm is to b uniqu in its own wy nd should b kpt sprt. On of th Advnturr Club objctivs is to provid mninful nd xcitin xprinc s th childrn look forwrd with nticiption to bin thfindr in th futur. Th thfindr Club is dsind to mt th rowin nds of childrn s by strnthnin hlthy pr rltionships. Th Advnturr Club is dsind to mt th nds of 6-9 yr olds by strnthnin thir fmily rltionships. rntl involvmnt in th club is ssntil to its succss. It is not intndd tht w duplict ll th xprincs of thfindrin, but rthr tht by providin sprt Advnturr Club mny nds of th youth d 6-9 will b mt in n xcitin nd njoybl wy nd thus thy will b rdy to fully njoy th thfindr xprinc whn tht tim rrivs. 18 Youth Ldrship Awrd Mnul

19 In mny instncs prnts hv childrn in both clubs nd my b involvd thmslvs. Thrfor, it my b ncssry to oprt th Advnturr nd thfindr club mtins t th sm hour nd dy, but this dos not mn tht th clubs should b combind. C. thfindrs 15 minuts Th Svnth-dy Advntist Church is committd to undrstndin youn popl nd trinin its youth for ldrship nd srvic to humnity. Th thfindr Club is church-cntrd spiritul-rcrtionl-ctivity prorm dsind for youn popl 10 to 15 yrs of. thfindrin ppls to this roup bcus its prorm fturs ctivitis tht mt thir nds nd intrsts.
