Trinity Lutheran Youth Ministry Purpose Statement
To further the Kingdom of Heaven through the message of the cross, based on principles found in Matthew 22:37-40, "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'" With God's help, we will be a MAGNET which will draw each member and others closer to God, knowing Jesus Christ as their Lord, Savior and Guide.
