The Why for Jr. High (The vision & purpose of the C.C.M. Jr. High Fellowship)

  1. Upreach - Our purpose as a Jr. High youth group is first and foremost to reach up to our Lord in praise and to glorify Him in all that we do since He is our reason for living. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31). It is because of this that we seek to provide a God honoring atmosphere in the Jr. High room through the time of worship, reading of the Word, and all else that we do. We want everyone (Jr. High students and leaders) to leave the room at the end of the service as more of a worshipper than when they entered.
  2. Inreach - Secondly, our purpose is to reach within our youth group to try to help each other grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). It is because we want to see you grow in the Lord that we teach the Word of God, have discipleship groups and student ministries for your to participate in.
  3. Outreach - Lastly, our purpose is to reach out to the world around us with the love of Jesus. Christ told his disciples, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). It is for this reason that we provide opportunities for yo to share your faith in Christ with the unsaved and reach out to those that are hurting as Christ would have us do.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in Spirit, in faith, in purity.

A lot of times people look at today's youth as problems waiting to happen. others don't even want to look at them. Those who are optimistic look at the youth of today as tomorrow's leaders. Here in 1 Timothy, Paul writes to a young Timothy, not as a problem waiting to happen, nor someone who could make a difference in the future, but as someone to be an example NOW! God doesn't put people on the shelf because they aren't old enough. He wants to use all His kids right from the start.

1 Timothy 4:12 Gives six ways in which we can be examples to those around us:

  1. Your words. Speak in a way that will be uplifting and encouraging.
  2. Your Actions. Act in a way so that people can tell that you love Jesus.
  3. Your Love. Love everyone with God's unconditional love.
  4. Your Attitude. Put on the mind (attitude) of Christ (Phil. 2:5-9).
  5. Your Faithfulness. Server the Lord faithfully where He has you.
  6. Your Purity. Flee also youthful lusts... (2 Timothy 2:22).

I pray that you will not shy away from serving the Lord but rather server Him now as He is willing and ready to use you. You are not the people God wants to use tomorrow, but the people God wants to use today.
