About Youth Ministry at Atonement

 

Youth Ministry can not be focused around trips and pizza. It has to be focused around God. Change happens when people encounter God.

Our Mission

The mission of Atonement Lutheran Church is to offer Jesus Christ, a life of discipleship and a faith community to all people. The Youth Ministry Team has expanded on this mission, emphasizing the importance of building a faith community in which all youth feel welcome and inspired to grow in faith.


Our Vision

Our vision is a comprehensive program, focused on our Wednesday night teaching sessions for Torch, Ignite, Shine and Elevate. From the Wednesday night sessions, we will continue our mission of building community through service activities, events, and programs which encourage a life of discipleship and faith in Jesus Christ. It is our goal to offer a variety of opportunities that reach out to all students, their friends and their families. We will partner with and encourage families in their faith and life, and help adult leaders and mentors guide students in growing their faith.

Finally, we will offer a ministry focused on living a life of service to our world and community in the name of Christ, offering His love to those around us.
