Living The Word youth ministry is the foundational platform we use to minister to youth ages 18 months to 17 years of age.  Our mission is to encourage youth to develop an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through sound biblical teaching.  The liberal arts of dance, drama, and music, along with fellowship and games are the avenues utilized to develop Christian character, values, responsibility and self awareness.

The following programs are integral programs within L.T.W.I youth ministry:

• L.T.W.I.  Little Lambs (18 mos.-6 yrs.)
• The Fruit of the Spirit Puppet Ministry  (18 mos.-6 yrs.)
• A.R.R.O.W.S. - Aiming to Reach and Remodel Our Worthy Sons (8-12 yrs.)
• G.R.A.C.E. - Girls Righteously Anointed and Called to Excellence (8-12 yrs.)
• C.H.O.S.E.N. - Choosing Holiness Over Sin Even Now (Girls and Boys 10-17 yrs.)
• R.Y.P.E. - Radical Youth Prepared for Excellence (13-17 yrs.)
• R.O.Y.A.L. - Reigning Obedient Youth Anchored in Love (5-7 yrs.)

“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.  As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.”

Children under the age of 17 do not have to be members to participate.

The bible declares that our children are like arrows soon to be released from our families and communities.  It is God’s desire for each of them to hit the target of His will for their lives.  He has created each one for a specific purpose and to have a specific impact on the world with their lives.

Here at LTWI, we believe our role as spiritual leaders in the community is to seek God for an understanding of the call that is on each child’s life and to equip them to walk in that call.  Our desire is to encourage them to look beyond the temporary pleasures of life and to develop a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. 

So, parents we encourage you to get involved by having your child or children attend our youth ministry's programs. Let’s partner together that we may successfully "aim" them as arrows, to fulfill God's perfect will and purposes for their lives. 

With the Love of Christ,
Doris Gales, Youth Pastor
