OUR HEART IS FOR AREA TEENS
Our goal is to help take teenagers on a spiritual journey as they follow Christ. We accomplish this by helping them know God, find freedom, discover their purpose and make a difference!
As teens take these steps they will grow closer to God, have great meaningful relationships, and learn how to SERVE and LEAD inside and outside the church.
We believe that teens who are connected to a life-giving church and develop healthy meaningful relationships can follow Jesus for a lifetime. We also believe that these same teens will use their God-given gifts and passions to make a huge impact on the Earth!
4:Twelve is an excellent ministry for all teens, Grade 7 - 12!
So...Why Project 4:Twelve?
This might be the most asked question we receive, "What exactly does Project 4:Twelve mean?"
We came up with the name while reading 1 Timothy 4:12 which says:
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."
What a great foundational verse for a vibrant student ministry in today's culture!
Here at Project 4:Twelve we believe that true life change happens in circles and not in rows!
Therefore, we meet in small groups during the week at New Song Church.. The main goals of our Small Groups are to help teens grow in both their relationship with God and their relationship with one another.
On Small Group nights we study God's Word in a very fun, interactive, and relevant way.
We also focus on building healthy and meaningful relationships through group trips and various special activities throughout the year.
SERVE DAYS
"What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.”
~ James 2:14-18 NLT
Here at Project 4:Twelve, we believe that 'faith' and 'works' go hand in hand, so from APRIL to DECEMBER we plan something we call SERVE DAY.
SERVE DAY is an opportunity for the teens, parents, and leaders to come together and show the love of Christ to members of our community. We schedule special service projects for our teens ranging from yard clean-up to food pantry assistance and everything in-between.
What are area teens saying about PROJECT 4:TWELVE?
"P4:Twelve and their LifeGroups mean so much to me! I have learned a lot about the Bible and how God has a plan and a purpose for my life. I have connected with so many other students and have really grown in my faith. I have also made lifelong friends here. Not to mention it's a lot of fun!" - CJ, 9th Grade (PHS)
"My involvement in P4:Twelve saved my life! I had gone through a very difficult time in my life, I felt hopeless and at the end. However that was before I experienced the incredible love of God and the family that I now have, who were once just strangers to me. If you are struggling, looking for a change, or looking to make a difference in the lives of others, 4:Twelve is the place for you!" - Kylee, 11th Grade (PHS)
"P4:Twelve allows me to be myself, while growing in my knowledge of the Bible and my overall relationship with Jesus. P4:Twelve has challenged me to get out of my comfort zone and form relationships that I would not have normally formed. It's been such a great place to meet friends and experience God!" - Sam, 9th Grade (PHS)What is 4:TWELVE NIGHT ?
4:TWELVE NIGHT is our weekly worship experience geared especially for teens. 4:TWELVE NIGHT consists of food, games, prizes, live worship, and an in-person teaching from our Student Pastor. This is a great opportunity for teens to invite friends, family, and classmates to experience Jesus in a fun and safe environment.
