This year we have added a new area of ministry to our leadership program at the Wesley Foundation. We will be working with the youth groups at St. James UMC and Tuckston UMC, two Athens area churches. April Roland, Adena Bowen, and a team of student leaders, will be leading small groups and building relationships with the youth at these churches. We are excited about partnering with these churches and increasing unity among the body of Christ in Athens. We are also excited about the opportunity to win youth to Christ, train young believers to be disciples and equip young disciples to become disciple-makers.
Mission Statement
As the leaders of the youth group ministry, our purpose is to give youth a true knowledge of God as we intentionally build relationships with them. We desire to live and lead as an example of Christlikeness and Godliness as we join with them in fellowship, worship and Bible study.
Psalm 78:4
“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders He has done.”
