YOUTH DREAMS & VISIONS

WHAT WE WANT OUR YOUTH GROUP TO LOOK LIKE:
Healing
Encountering Jesus – passionate worship; “fire on the feet”; switch sanctuaries
Growth in numbers
Spiritual growth/intimacy/be real – need to get to a better place spiritually before we grow in numbers
Unity in the group – not quench the Spirit with cliques
Freedom in worship and response (not worry about other people)
Get together more, more Rec Nites
Casting out demons, raising the dead…
Get togethers to bring in new worship songs (brainstorm worship)
Reaching out to the community – being God’s hands and feet
Be a place to heal broken souls
Embrace future leaders (Brandon, Issac, Cody) – a place for youth to find their spiritual gifts and use them!
Opportunities for discipleship
Unity as one Body in Christ
Place of freedom – set apart from the world
Place of deliverance – breaking the chains
Not to be afraid of what others think of us – be real with each other, struggle together, be victorious together
Take us beyond ourselves – walk in FAITH
