Grace Community Youth
Grace
Community Youth is a the student ministry for youth who are in
the 6-12th grades. The Ministry is a part of the overall family
of Grace Community Church. We are a church in south Shrveport
Louisiana. For more information of Grace Community vist the
church website at
www.gracehappens.orgWe believe at Grace that youth matter. That youth have a important role in the life of the church. Because of this we have special connection points designed to help youth understand their relationship with Christ, how to be growing in a deeper faith and contributing to the body of Christ, and the community in general.
Our Values
Coming soon. . .
Growing through activity & process
We
believe that growing and learning goes beyond just head
knowledge. That it begings with getting active with our
faith. Youth learn the best by doing; being apart of
something greater than themselves. Faith is strengthened in
the act of doing.Enganged in Media & Culture
Youth live in a world that is consumed by media and emmersed
in their own sub-culture. For us to better understand, reach
and serve youth we need to be engaged and learners of media
and culture.
Created to give
We
believe we are created to be creators and givers of
love and generosity. God has given us gifts, talents and
abilities to serve and love one another. At Grace we have
many areas for youth to discover their God given gifts and
use them for His glory.Help in time of crisis & need
We
know that life sometimes doesn't go as planned. That there
are times of difficulty and crisis. We believe that God has
given us the chruch for support and understanding in these
times of need. Maybe you are in one of these times? Maybe
you need to talk with someone about your crisis or need.

Our Directors
Our
youth directors came in May of 2008. Sarah and Scott have been
in youth ministry for more than ten years. They love God and
love youth. They believe that youth are the church of today
and that revival and life-changing ministry is at the heart of
their ministry. Mission and reaching into the community is
what God has called Sarah and Scott to lead youth into. As you
meet them you will quickly see and feel the love they have for
Christ and for youth. Scott and Sarah are into running and being outside. Recently they have ran a marathon and have two more planned for 2010. Backpacking and camping have become a past time they love to do together. Besides hanging out with all the youth at church their children (aka dogs, Casey & Lil Bit ) keep them busy at home as well.
