Youth Ministry
Youth ministry is the response of the Christian community to the needs of young people and the sharing of the unique gifts of youth with the larger community. Youth, in the age range of 11 years old through high school are part of the youth ministry of the parish. St. George Church is committed to its youth and will invest their future. Life Teen/Edge - a resource that is built especially for the benefit and empowerment of youth will be used.
The goals of youth ministry are three-fold:
Goal 1: To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.
Goal 2: To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.
Goal 3: To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
These goals express the Church’s focus for ministry with adolescents, while encouraging
local creativity in developing the programs, activities and strategies to reach these goals.
