Jesus said, "Let the little children come to
me…for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
The Barna Research Group
have shown that the majority of people give their lives to Christ before the
age of 18, but this is the first study that has shown the probabilities at
various ages. It also has shown that the
evangelistic impact is getting younger.
The study points out that
children and adolescents are most impacted evangelistically by family members,
peers and their churches activities like Sunday school, Kids Church, VBS, etc . In fact, the years prior to age 12 are when a
majority of children make their decision as to whether or not they will follow
Christ.
This is why we at
Celebration Community Church concentrate so much of our time and resources on
Children, Youth and College ministries.
We invest in programs like our Elevate Kids Club, our G0-FISH children’s
ministry which puts on summer camp June 3-5 Vacation Bible School July 21-25
and KidFest Aug 16.
Even though the Barna study
says that only 4% of teens have a likelihood of trusting in Christ we at C3
believe it is a good investment to pour a tremendous amount of time and money
into a relevant youth and college ministry. Our CrossCurrent student ministries
goes on mission trips, puts on summer camps for Middle School May 27-29 and High
School July 31-August . This summer also
makes our 11th Annual Youth Conference June 27-28 that attracts
hundreds of Middle and High School students to a weekend of great music and
challenging messages. Our Encounter College Ministry has in the last year been
reaching 250 + FHSU students every week and continues to operate throughout the
summer.
There is no summer slow
down when it comes to doing whatever we can to reach young people for the Lord at C3.

ministry,
