About Foothills Youth
Foothills Youth is a dynamic community of Christ-followers that exist to reach out to students with the Gospel, build them up as Disciples of Christ, and send them out to change the world.
All throughout the inerrant word of Scripture, God weaves a story of his pursuit to bless his people. His creation, once complete, lacks a crucial aspect of existence due to sin. Our souls are aching for a relationship with our creator. Restoration of this relationship is possible through the sacrifice of God’s one and only son, Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection marks the culmination of this restoration plan. As we come into contact with Jesus through Scripture, our hears are drawn to our creator and our lives are forever changed. Restored. Complete. Out of this change we begin a lifelong journey of transformation into what God intended us to be.
Reach
The Great Commission (Matthew 28) calls every follower of Christ to go out and make disciples of all nations. Different cultures respond to different measures of evangelism. One of the most effective ways to reach the students of our community is through the avenue of music and genuine friendships. We understand that this generation is in dire need of saving the Grace of Christ. Studies show that youth are gaining an interest in spirituality and religiosity. This is the perfect time to reach this generation or people group, with the love of Christ.
Build
The Holy Spirit has gifted every believer with a unique set of talents and abilities. It is our responsibility that we aide these students in discovering these gifts and using them as part of the body and equipping them as saints. (Romans 12:1, 4-6)
Send
As these students are growing in their spiritual giftedness, it is crucial that they develop their knowledge that they are a fully functional part of the Body of Christ. Being a part of the Body of Christ means that they are active in using their gifts within the youth ministry and also in outreach to our community. Our goal is to give students the opportunities to be part of the Great Commission, literally bringing the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
