THRIVE  

                                        Young Adult Ministry

              To THRIVE means to grow strong and vigorous; to do well and to prosper.                      

           The righteous shall grow like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

                                                 (Psalm 92:12 NKJV)

Matthew 5:14-16

 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 14 Nor do they light  

 light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the      

 house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good work and glorify your  

 Father in heaven.

Purpose of THRIVE 

Thrive exists to CONNECT young adults to Jesus Christ through peer discipleship and bible-based    

teaching and to provide a network of support and accountability; to GROW young adults in their    

relationship and freedom in Jesus Christ to develop their gifts and act upon their enthusiasm for  

witness and worship; to provide a holistic ministry that allows young adults to encounter PROSPERITY  

in every aspect of their lives.

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in    

 charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity”. (1 Timothy 4:12)

Method of THRIVE 

We seek to accomplish our purpose by engaging in Large Group Sessions including events and conferences,  

Small Groups, One-on-Ones, Outreach and Fellowship.

Goals of THRIVE

• Share our faith with other young adults through education, prayer, and fellowship while allowing 

         them the opportunity to hear God’s message for HIS church and to encourage a personal relationship

       with Christ. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ²⁵ not forsaking  

          the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much  

          the more as you see the day approaching.”  (Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV)

•  Worship God in Spirit and in Truth. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit          

          and in truth.” (John 4:24 NKJV)

•  For each THRIVER to recognize their gifts and strengths through Christ, for we know that only what we

         do for Christ will last. Once gifts are recognized, we encourage each individual to pray for guidance in    

         utilizing their gifts within the church. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,        

         faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10 NIV)
