Identity, belonging, and leadership opportunities
were the three key needs that emerged from a study of young
people in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). In response to those
needs, the 205th General Assembly (1993) approved the creation
of a new national youth ministry organization, named the Presbyterian
Youth Connection. The Presbyterian Youth Connection seeks to
do just that -- connect young people to each other, the whole
church, and the whole world through faith in Jesus Christ.
Presbyterian Youth Connection is built on the five intentions
of the Presbyterian Youth Ministry:
- To call young people to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
- To respond to the needs and the interests of young people.
- To work together, youth and adults, in partnership.
- To be connected to the whole church, community, and the
world.
- To include all young people, reaching out and inviting them
to belong to the community of faith.
