DESIRED OUTCOMES
Next-Gen promotes and provides instruction in the performing arts so that youth will have outlets to creatively express themselves, and use their creativity and talent in developmentally appropriate ways to draw others to Christ (i.e., drama, spoken word, mime, praise dance, youth band).
We engage families and enable them to celebrate in the spiritual growth, training, and performances of their youth. Youth hour during the national assemblies will provide a venue for youth to operate in and share gifts that they have learned through instruction.
We engage youth in an outreach/mission activity during each national assembly (eg., writing letters or sending items to youth in a different countries.)
- Conduct youth needs assessments across the districts.
- Hold quarterly conference calls with district youth leaders and use information gathered to develop national youth programming.
- Work collaboratively with other youth and young adult ministries (when possible) to build continuity and strength in ministries (i.e. children’s ministry, 2CBF).
- Work collaboratively with the above ministries and other national church auxiliaries to organize a national youth retreat (that will include special programming for the youth, including sports)/
