At IDC, ministry means “service,” and we understand that the youth in our church are younger Christians who are growing in faith. As such the youth ministry at IDC offers a service to help our youths grow in their faith.

 

The goal of this ministry is to empower our young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.  We further aim to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person and help them for a lifelong walk with Christ.

 

We desire to help youth develop a meaningful and devotional prayer life. This can be encouraged through providing quiet time materials, accountability, journals, modeling/example, letting youth know how important it is for you, asking them for prayer requests and following through with them, telling them about your answered prayers and telling them things you learned in your personal prayer time.

 

We further offer out youth opportunities for Christian fellowship and development of their social skills by allowing them to be involved in full church activities, integration, working with shut-in in some instances, and serving within our divine worship service in various capacities.

 

Finally, it is our desire to continue to enlist and equip adult leaders who will work effectively toward the objectives for youth ministry.
