“Train children how to live right,
and when they are old, they will not change.”
Proverbs 22:6
As your child navigates the Middle School and High School years, faith will become an important factor in their success. Research repeatedly supports the Scripture of Proverbs 22:6 – Teens who have a strong personal relationship with Christ are significantly less likely to drink alcohol, experiment with drugs, and engage in pre-marital sex. At First Saints our youth ministry outreach provides pre-teens and teens opportunities to explore their faith, build connections with other Christian youth, and have fun in a safe environment. High school youth who are actively involved in the life of First Saints are actively involved in outreach at their schools and are leaders in the Chrysalis retreat ministry. Their teachers and their peers respect them.
“The conventional wisdom that all relationships between teenagers and their parents are tumultuous is wrong”, according to research from the America’s Promise Alliance. You, as parents are the single most influential factor in your child’s life. CrossWalk Youth’s partnership with you is a critical component of our ministry. We rely on your support as we guide your child towards a personal faith in Jesus Christ. Your insight and prayers are invaluable.
Thank you for sharing your child’s journey of faith with us. Throughout the years, we will love your child and provide them with opportunities to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each child is a precious gift from God and we are honored to partner with you as we show them the depth and breadth of His love for them.
