The Ministry to the Youth at Covenant is relational. Relational youth ministry is sharing the Gospel in the context of liking students, spending time with them and sharing life together. As Paul said,
“we loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well”
1 Thessalonians 2:8
Relational youth ministry is needed:
“until a student is environmentally comfortable, he/she won’t become theologically aware” Anonymous
“A person too anxious about being shamed cannot learn”
Hillel (Hebrew sage, 2000 yrs. Ago)
