IGNYTE is a ministry geared for high school age youth.
The vision at IGNYTE goes along with Jesus’ challenge in Matthew 16:24 when Jesus said to His disciples
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”
We learn how to bear our cross by dying to ourselves and loving one another. It’s about worshiping the Lord, studying and applying God’s word to our lives that we might live a life worthy of our calling (EPH. 4:1-3) so that we might reach the world for Christ (Mark 16:15).
We meet on Tuesday nights from 7:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. in the Youth Room.
Leaders: Donald Jensen
Phone: 717-6208
Paul tells Timothy, a young pastor in the ministry, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
In following the example of Jesus, who “came not to be served, but to serve,” our teens are given ample opportunities to serve the Body of Christ at Calvary Chapel. Whether it’s helping with the Children’s Ministry, cleaning, construction projects, etc., our teens can be involved in serving on a regular basis and learning the truth of our Lord’s words, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” Acts 20:35.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Several special events are planned throughout the year for our youth, such as retreats, conferences, special once-a-month events, concerts, and mission trips. Aside from the usual fun and excitement, these events not only encourage and motivate the youth to focus on their personal relationship with the Lord and stay charged up on the Word and prayer, but also challenge them to be bold witnesses for Jesus among their peers.
OUTREACH
Outreach is another essential part of the Youth Ministry. As the teens are trained in sharing their faith, opportunities are given to put principles into practice by going out and sowing the seeds of the Gospel within our community. In addition to local outreach, summer missions trips offer our youth the chance to minister hands-on in another culture through relief work, drama, and evangelism. These trips can produce life-changing experiences that help broaden one’s world view, as well as develop a greater passion for the lost.
