YOUTH MINISTRY
What comes to mind when you think about God? Who do you believe God is, and how do you believe God interacts with you personally and with your world? These are questions we are going to be addressing in this three-week series - Godview. You see, every one of us has a Godview, and that Godview affects everything we do. The tension in this series is that we don't ever really know everything about God. There are things that each one of us knows about God now that we didn't know five years ago because God is constantly revealing Himself to us through the relationship that we have with Him. And while we'll never really know everything about God - because He's that big and that mysterious - the things we can learn about Him shape the way we respond to whatever life brings. That's why author A.W. Tozer said, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
EIKON is the name of our Sr. High Ministry. This Greek word is the core for our English word, Icon. An icon refers to a likeness, image, or figure. In 2 Corinthians 3:18 we read:
“And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His EIKON (likeness) with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Our Sr. High students are encouraged to continue to grow toward spiritual maturity by re-enforcing the biblical truths learned in scripture and as a believer, they are encouraged to mature into mentor/leaders who are plugged into ministry within the church. It is our hope that our Sr. High students will grow and become EIKONs (Icons) of Christ on their school campuses, at home, and as an important part of our Church family and ministry teams.
