Youth on Point

What happens when a church refuses to offer "youth ministry as usual"? . . . What happens when a church gets serious about discipling its youth? . . . What happens when a church trades in dodge-ball and gross-out games, and teenage babysitting, and instead opts to teach theology and ministry and real world discipleship? . . .

I'll tell you what happens. You get kids living like Christ, for Christ, on mission for making a real difference in their world for Christ's sake. You get kids, like the ones here at Santa Clara Church who take their faith seriously, realize they are the church now, and expect (and will) change the world.

The youth are hosting this city-wide event to get informed, trained, and make real difference. This is the effort to move against sex trafficking in our area. As it happens, the I-5 corridor is one of the most trafficked highways in the U.S.

I am so proud and amazed by the way our youth are working to make a difference. They are a real credit to the ongoing ministry of Santa Clara, and they lead the rest of us (adults) and challenge us in so many ways.

Great job, kids! You ARE the church today!
