- We discussed our goals;
- Over-arching goal is to understand and resolve the problem we have with our youth disconnecting from the church and not wanting to be active participant.
- Another over-arching goal is to increase (50-70%) of those who serve in the church to be from the youth over the next 2 years.
- The course offered 5 NEEDs which the youth are looking for but did not offer a step-by-step solution to meet each need. WE have to come up with a plan which fits with our own situation, capabilities and kids.
- We need for our work to have 2 angles:
- What do we do about the children currently in youth age and how to engage them back.
- What do we do about the children currently in elementary so that we avoid the same scenario happening with them
- Reviewed the 5 needs (see noes below). Discussed how we felt about order of priority. In coming meetings, we will take one at a time and dissect it further to understand it and find the right approach to address it.
