Youth
Venture
Venturing is going on the risk-taking missions the disciples went on. It is going into the dark places and shining the light of Christ to a world in great need of His light. The light we carry is needed across the world in cities and the country. It is needed as far away as India and as close as our own homes. The constant is that it costs us something to shine the light there. We want to equip youth to selflessly share the love of God for the world.
Express
To express God's love for others through extreme generosity and radical kindness. Someone once said "I don't care what you know until I know that you care." Talk is cheap, but time, effort and love are priceless. VERB gives youth the outlet to show the World that God loves them one person at a time, one kind and generous act at a time. Whether its a free service, prayer or a kind word we love others to show that God loves them.
Rave
Rave literally means to speak endlessly. There are so many amazing things about our God to discover and so many ways to discover them. God deserves our attention and praise. Sometimes its soft, sometimes its loud. Sometimes its simple and sometimes its complex. VERB gives youth a unique opportunity to meaningfully connect with God their way and many ways they have never thought of.
Build
Building something requires plans, a foundation and connection to power and life sustaining water. Through a lot of fun, deep Bible study, friendship, and the safety of a place that inspires instead of judging youth can grow and become the person God made them to be. VERB teaches youth the plans for life, helps pour the foundation for success, and links them to the power and sustaining connection with God and other Christians that will serve them through youth and beyond.
