Every Youth = Every Christian

What if the goal we have for every youth coming out of CY was to become what the bible says every Christian should be?

What if, Year 12s coming out of CY:

• Know and love the gospel (1 Cor 2:2)
• Live for the Kingdom (Matt 6:33)
• Participate in the work of Christ
• Contribute to the Body of Christ (1 Cor 12:27)
• Disciple one another (Matt 28:19)
• Love God’s word and know how to feed from it
• Actively seek to witness and embed themselves in their communities
• Understand what it means to live as God’s people in God’s world

Every Youth = Every Christian captures something that we’ve been aiming to do at CY this year. In my teaching training, I’ve been told that when we set high expectations for our students, you will get high results. Peter Adams, at our last Getaway said,
​
“Have the highest expectations for those around you,
and the greatest amount of grace.”

Every Youth = Every Christian, sets high expectations that our youths would be “empower[ed].. to join in the Mission of God wherever they are” throughout adolescence and as they enter adulthood.

But before we can understand how these goals can be achieved, we need to understand our context.

1. What are the general felt needs of  Sydney Youths?
2. What are the specific felt needs of CY?

Over the next few weeks, we will explore these felt needs and the goals and objectives that will help us strive for “Every Youth = Every Christian.”
