Burlington Youth Ministry
Our purpose with the Burlington Youth Ministry is to help our youth grow in the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ with the goal of discipleship. We want to see all of our young people become members of the body of Christ. The CgiBurlington Facebook page is one place to see the youth in action! https://www.facebook.com/cgiburlington
(In addition to the CgiBurlington resources listed here, The Church of God International also features
a great youth Website www.infusecgi.org and Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/InfuseCGI )
Our weekly Youth Study cycles through the entire Bible every two years. Year 1 is focused on laying the foundation with the Old Testament. Year 2 is focused on the New Testament. The Bible is presented in such a way that our youth come to understand the underlying narrative. Our intention is that after doing this for several years, our children will have a richer understanding of how all the elements of the Bible work together.
