About Youth Ministry at Atonement

 

Youth Ministry can not be focused around trips and pizza. It has to be focused around God. Change happens when people encounter God. ~ Harvey Carey, SHIFT 2009

 

Our Mission

The mission of Atonement Lutheran Church is to offer Jesus Christ, a life of discipleship and a faith community to all people. The Youth Ministry Team has expanded on this mission, emphasizing the importance of building a faith community in which all youth feel welcome and inspired to grow in faith.


Our Vision

Our vision is a comprehensive program, focused on our Wednesday night teaching sessions for Torch, Ignite, Shine and Elevate. From the Wednesday night sessions, we will continue our mission of building community through service activities, events, and programs which encourage a life of discipleship and faith in Jesus Christ. It is our goal to offer a variety of opportunities that reach out to all students, their friends and their families. We will partner with and encourage families in their faith and life, and help adult leaders and mentors guide students in growing their faith.

Finally, we will offer a ministry focused on living a life of service to our world and community in the name of Christ, offering His love to those around us.

Eva Corbova


This summer, we were blessed to have an intern with us, Eva Corbova. Eva is from Lascov, Slovakia. She spent the summer learning all about youth ministry, children's ministry and how we do church in America. We had a wonderful time with Eva and she helped us tremendously. She was able to experience New York City, Bible Camp, Fireside Club, sharing about her country, and painted some AWESOME murals in the Youth Room. We wish Eva all the best as she goes back to Slovakia, and feel so blessed that God brought her here this summer.
