Planning for our youth At OUMC, we value students and their families, and we are committed to building a sustainable youth ministry that is going to have a deep impact. That’s why we are developing a blueprint together. We have invited Ministry Architects to visit us on Aug. 8-10, 2014. (Learn more about them at ymarchitects.) Ministry Architects will spend the majority of their time listening to a variety of groups within the church through focused listening groups. We hope to see participation in those groups from a broad spectrum of parents, volunteers, youth and people who just love our youth. We want your insights, your frustrations and your dreams to be heard. After spending 2 days in these listening groups (and taking copious notes), the Ministry Architects team will hunker down to write a report, sharing with us what they’ve heard about the youth programs – including assets, challenges, and how we compare to youth ministries around the country – and where it seems that God might be taking us next. On Sunday, August 10 at 4:00 p.m., the report will be presented to the congregation in the CLC during our Vision Dinner- laying out specific recommendations and a blueprint for how to move forward. If you would like to be part of this process and have your voice heard, please contact Janet in the Church office at 423-238-9216 or [email protected]
