Paradise Mennonite Church Youth Group:
"Prepared, Motivated, Committed Youth for God"

Our purpose for having a youth group at Paradise Mennonite Church is summed up in our youth group motto - "Prepared, Motivated, Committed Youth for God."

We want to PREPARE our youth through prayer, discipleship and Bible study to face the trials and temptations they will encounter in life. We also want to PREPARE our youth to be the future leadership in our church and community.

We want our youth to be MOTIVATED Christians who want to be involved in the church and serve God wholeheartedly.

We want our youth to be COMMITTED to serving God in missions locally and abroad, and COMMITTED to each other with accountability and encouragement.

We want GOD to be the center of their lives. We want them to worship Him, seek Him and honor Him with their actions, speech and thoughts. We want to remember that they are YOUTH. We want them to have fun at youth group activities. We want to encourage and support them in their areas of involvement. We hope that they will witness to their peers and show them the love of Jesus Christ.
