LOGOS

INTRODUCTION TO LOGOS

The focus of ministry with youth and children is relationships--relationships with peers, with parents and other adults, with pastors and church leaders, with a congregation and especially, with God.  Relationships are what the Bible and the Christian faith are all about.  LOGOS will serve as a primary arena in which Christian relationships may be developed and nurtured.

LOGOS is a midweek design for ministry with youth and children and their families in the local church.  It is a program that really works!  It is a structured "retreat every week", in the middle of the week, that provides all the dynamics of a good camp/conference program, but experienced in the context of the life of the local church.  It guarantees the growth of the intergenerational relationships that bond the entire congregation into an authentic community of faith.

THE 'FOUR PARTS' OF LOGOS

Bible Study

Bible study nurtures youth and children into intelligent, obedient, and biblically-informed discipleship. In grade level groups, each LOGOS class uses a curriculum that is designed to meet their unique needs and learning capabilities. We have developed Faith for Life2 to be a powerful Bible study resource for any weekly LOGOS ministry.

Worship Skills

Worship is essential and central to the Christian community. In Worship Skills young people learn about worship and prepare to lead in the Sunday morning service of worship. This is typically done through singing, bell, or speaking choirs, drama, or movement and dance.

Recreation Play

Recreation Play allows LOGOS young people to experience great fun at the expense of no one else. They participate in games and active play, do crafts, or experience the hobby or special interest of a member of the congregation. When we reveal ourselves in play, we strengthen friendships, and when conflicts occur, we practice our Child of God theology.

Family Time

Family Time provides a joyous, intergenerational celebration of personhood over a shared meal as LOGOS young people experience being part of the family of God. Young people are assigned to tables along with one or two adults who act as "table parents." The group around the table becomes a family as they share meals together throughout the year. Food is served family style. Conversation is purposeful. Life is celebrated!

Kingdom of God Living

The LOGOS Ministry strongly supports the commitment that each of us is a Child of God and should be treated with the kind of respect, love, and support that is expected by God's great commandment. At the heart of a weekly LOGOS ministry are the Christian relationships that truly connect people and energize the nurturing of young people. In today's world, LOGOS can offer young people the chance to enjoy a truly different experience. . . kingdom of God living.
