Youthtowne carries
out its vision by providing a place, which naturally aids the
young person in the discovery of faith.
Youthtowne endeavors to inspire adults
in the import work of youth ministry. We believe that one
of the most effective ways to help young people is through
contact with a faith filled role model. And so it is our plan
that Youthtowne will always be represented by people of sincere
faith who exemplify an outward disposition of love, charity
and service.
Our Vision:
Youthtowne
is a catalyst that inspires and motivates youth to seek God
and Jesus Christ in their lives. We believe that true fulfillment
and happiness can only be discovered in a personal committment
to Jesus Christ. We recognize the immense potential for goodness
in young people and we aim to help them pursue that which
is already a natural inclination.
Jesus Christ
walks beside each of us as a friend. We hope to help young
people recognize that Friend who is so close to them, the
One who will never abandon them and will lead them humbly
to great achievments.
The Churches We Serve
Our first
priority in outreach to the churches is right here in the
West Allegheny Ministerium. We believe it is critical that
the churches in immediate proximity to us have access to us.
Once this need has been met we extend our outreach to other
churches in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.
Youthtowne
endeavors to inspire all churches to do more for their young
people. It is our hope that we can be the catalyst that will
motivate them to do more to draw young people into responsible
participation in their church. Youthtowne welcomes churches
to all denominations. We provide excellent facilities at no
cost. We expcet the churches to provide the supervision as
well as the content for their program.
In the
future we would love to see more churches coming together
for ecumenical gatherings. It is our hope that we can sponsor
festivals that invite all of the area churches to participate,
co-ed softball leagues for the boys and girls in these churches,
and eventually collaborate to prepare special summer camp
programs for young people from all of our churches.
