Y.E.S. Club
(Young, Excited, & Saved)

The Y.E.S. Club is an auxiliary of the Youth Department which ministers to young persons ages 13-18, to help cultivate the role and responsibilities of teens to themselves, their church and their community. As we approach the year 2006, the Y.E.S. Club recognizes this age group as a new generation with a sanctified attitude, with something to say and contribute.

 

The Y.E.S. Club shall encourage participation of both males and females. In doing so, their participation shall be directed towards the positive aspects of today’s society by teaching God as being the center of all good things. Such a direction will allow the Y.E.S. Club participants to realize that they are servants for God’s purpose, direction and will in their lives.

 

MISSION STATEMENT:
In accordance with the mission of the Youth Department of the Church of God In Christ, the Y.E.S. Club seeks to help cultivate the role and responsibilities of teens to themselves and within their family, church and community.

 

GOALS:
To implement a program, which will encourage teens to view, the positive aspects of today’s society; and through God’s direction identify their function by way of participation. We will achieve this goal through rap sessions, workshops, guest speakers, and field trips.
• To teach youth how to make decisions that will positively affect their lives in any situation.
• To motivate a higher level of participation and create a “get involved” attitude.
• To persuade youth that God has a definite plan for their lives and that they are servants of His Kingdom.
