"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). First, giving honor to my Lord and Savior- Jesus Christ, Pastor Mills and his family, the entire Mt.Sinai family, my loved-ones, and everyone else in their respective positions. As the youth president here at Mt. Sinai, I wish to serve each and every young child of God that is willing to learn more about God as well as this Chrisitian walk. My goal is to help guide young people to Jesus through personal communication, ministries throughout the church, and fellowship. The entire youth ministry not only focuses on Baptist Christianity, but also on education, service, and fun. Annual events, such as college tours, congresses/ conventions, support for the families in the Virgin Islands, and youth outings like Wet-N-Wild and the movie theatres are planned through our adult supervisors of the youth council. There are currently over 100 members of Mt. Sinai that are part of the youth ministry and abundate are always welcome to be part of this family of youth here at Sinai.

The Young People’s Ministry is committed to train up a child. The ministry purpose and mission is to nurture, develop and unite young Christians through love, teaching, evangelism and fellowship. The ministry is to teach, train and recognize specific needs of our children/youth to grow in spiritual maturity.

The Young People’s Ministry is the total work of the church, with support of parents, children/youth and other ministries.

“From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:16

A MINISTRY OF TEACHING/REFORM

Charge

The primary purpose of the Young Peoples Department Ministry is to prepare the young people for present and future spiritual maturity. Specifically, to aid their spiritual growth and development, enhance leadership skills, generate interest and allow for creativity. The Young Peoples Ministry of the church is a teaching and training program designed to train and not entertain. The ministry also gives practical guidance in witnessing, Bible Study, prayer life, discipline in stewardship and evangelism.

Activites

Young People/ Youth Choir- This choir, full of spirit-filled voices ranging from the age 7 to 17, ministers on every 4th Sunday. Come join them at practice on every 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tuesday at 6:00pm.

Youth Usher Board- This ministry is perfect for young people who have the desire to help others and with the order of events/ services. Youth ushers help the order of services flow smoothly by passing out church programs and envelopes, by greeting whomever is near, and by doing whatever they can to help those around them enjoy the services to the best of their advantage.

Praise Dance- Dancing is FUN, but dancing FOR THE LORD is even BETTER! Praise dance is a moderate and graceful style of dancing. It involves gospel music ( or any type of music LIFTING UP THE NAME OF JESUS), focused minds and dedication, and any girls who have a passion for praising God through dance. Practices are held in the development center every Monday at 6:00. Following this rehearsal is Girl Scouts...

Girl Scouts is a fun ministry. Girls ages 6 to 17 get together in unity to do the Girl Scout Pledge and the Law then they diverge in their different groups by age variation. These groups are (from youngest to oldest girls) Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, and Seniors. Girls in this organization learn about edicit, surviving, and plenty of interesting neccesities for girls growing up into virtuous women. These girls also go on plenty of trips such as camping, Water Mania, Busch Gardens, and many more. Cookies are also sold for Girl Scouts during the early months of the year to raise money for Girl Scout troops and dreamed vacations like Cancun, Mexico ( which is this summer). If you are interested in this fun filled organization, then come out right after praise dance rehearsals at 7:00pm to 8:00pm.
