“Connecting kids to a consistent leader who believes in God and believes in them, is something the Church can do that nothing in culture does” – Reggie Joiner, Creating a Lead Small Culture

 

With family and friends, I’ve seen it constantly. Gang involvement, clinging to crowds headed in a direction destined for two places- death or prison. However, gangs and similar groups were doing exactly what Reggie Joiner encourages and young people bought into this sense of destructive value. In reality, these young lives aren’t valued at all and both their identity and purpose take a horrendous detour from God’s original intent for their lives.

 

Coast City YTH is dedicated to real and authentic relationship. When leaders commit to young people, become consistent in engaging student’s lives, and work collaboratively to reach the current generation- youth will experience a thriving life where exhilarating confidence and freedom become the norm. There’s an extravagant life that’s lived to the fullest and can only be experienced through Jesus alone.

 

Our YTH is a place where young people will never be excluded because they belong here. Our YTH is a place where we believe that students aren’t the Church of tomorrow- they’re the Church, now.

 

-Matthew Segi
