YOUTH MINISTRY

Meet the NEW "YOUTH ENCOUNTER " TEAM LEADERS
(COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL CONVENTION" )

This is our team: united, equipped, focused, faithful, intentional, resilient, compassionate, visionary, Spirit-led, bold, strategic, nurturing, empowering, diverse, supportive, prayerful, committed, wise, adaptable, inspiring, collaborative, joyful, disciplined, driven, inclusive, humble, grounded, obedient, generous, and purpose-filled, here to help us help you reach your God-ordained destiny.

As the newly appointed Superintendent of Youth Encounter, our Sunday Bible School Convention, I’m fired up! Together, we can spark a movement where faith meets fire, and every young person discovers they were born to shift the atmosphere. I’m stepping in ready to unleash powerful worship, fearless conversations, squad-based challenges, and God-filled encounters that leave us forever changed. This isn’t just another event, it’s an explosion of purpose, passion, and praise. I’ve got my heart set, my mission clear, and my eyes on what God is about to do through us. Let’s go, this generation is ready to rise!

Ready, set, let’s grow together! As the Assistant Sunday Bible School Convention Superintendent-in-Training, I am committed to learning from those who have come before me, while faithfully standing in the gap during this season, so that we can become our best. This is a time of growth, alignment, and purpose. My heart is set on strengthening our foundation, building unity, and inspiring movement within this generation and the generations to come.

Together, we will rise with vision, walk in grace, and answer God’s call with boldness, faith, and unwavering dedication to His work. We can, because Jesus Christ, already did.

I intend to move boldly, led by the Spirit of God, to support the Superintendent and help guide this generation into divine purpose. My mission is to empower every attendee to recognize their value and walk fully in their calling—at church, at home, and in the community. With grace and truth, I will encourage growth, unity, and bold faith. I believe God will use this encounter to awaken gifts, stir hearts, and raise up leaders who shine with impact wherever they go. This is our season to rise and be transformed.

Stay tuned for what we can do, together, as we operate in the knowledge and power of the Almighty God.

YOUNG FOLKS & FRIENDS UNION (YFFU)

The NOW GENERATION desires a closer relationship to Christ. As youth leaders, we are reminded of the truth that youth ministry can be difficult. Many times it’s just easier to let youth and teens do what they want and think they don’t desire or need adults in their lives. Some say that it may be easy to ignore them, but the truth is that they are desperate for adults to actually show up and invest in their life on a consistent basis. Consistency is big because so much of life today is inconsistent. The typical American dream is fading. Family life is always changing. The youth of today are being forced to make choices about their future (college and career) at a time when they are just figuring out who they are. The youth of today need consistency and they need it from the church more than ever. Read More >>>

YOUNG ADULT AUXILIARY (YAA)

The Youth & Young Adults Auxiliary of the New Jersey Diocese is committed to help unlock the unlimited potential of those we encounter, through Jesus Christ! We believe God desires for all of us to be primary spiritual influencers for all, and we are honored to be a part of the pushing.

Our passion is to show the love of Christ in all that we do, develop trusting relationships that help encourage and create an atmosphere that helps them love coming to church and wanting to be a part of growth in the home, church... and community! There is no greater joy than to see our Youth & Young Adults fall in love with Jesus and begin a personal relationship with Him!
