Youth
Our Core Values:
-
God deeply loves all youths. It is the appropriate response of the church to value and cherish youths.
-
By God’s design, youths are relational beings. The church’s appropriate response is to provide a relationally based youth ministry.
-
The Holy Spirit is drawing and gifting youths for lifelong, personal relationships of devoted service to Jesus Christ. We want to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in actively evangelizing and discipling youths.
-
God is the Creator of families and often draws people to his Son working in and through families. We therefore desire to work with youths in partnership with their families wherever possible.
Music
When we worship God corporately, our music ministry goal is to help others see God’s majesty and glory. We want to be invisible—to not distract—and to magnify the name of the Lord. 1 Chronicles 16:8–10 says, “Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.”
Community service
While on earth, Jesus left His example for us to follow. Acts 10:38 states that He “went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed”. Throughout His ministry, Jesus continuously worked to ease suffering among all people. Likewise, our faith should motivate us to be conscientious citizens of our country, state and town and inspire us to use our skills and talents in the community at large. Each one of us has been specially made and shaped us with gifts, talent, and skill…and we are called to actively to provide services to improve the lives of those less fortunate or in need.
First United is committed to finding ways to serve our community as part of our spiritual journey.
