Following Jesus is not merely a one time decision or a set of rules to live by; following Jesus is the daily pursuit of a relationship with the living God. Jesus told the Rich Young Ruler of Matthew 19 to give up his earthly treasure and to follow him. It is that same invitation that provides the core of a good Philosophy of Youth Ministry. I seek to create a ministry environment for students in grades 6th-12th where they receive knowledge, have experiences, and learn abilities within the context of an invitation to know and follow the Son of God.
