YG VISION: 2020 REFLECTION, 2021 ANTICIPATION
At Younger Generation Church, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the year past and getting ready for the adventures ahead.
YG VISION: In this new decade of YG, we aspire to overflow Christ Jesus beyond our four walls, blessing your community, transforming our world.
THE PANDEMIC REVEALED PEOPLE PASSIONATE ABOUT JESUS
Amidst all the challenges of 2020, we discovered that @ygchurch was not a program contained in a building, but rather YG is a widely dispersed, diverse, loving people passionate about deepening devotion to Jesus in their heart and in our world. The pandemic didn’t close down our church, rather it awakened us to the spiritual reality that—wherever GOD resides in the heart of humans—the Church is vibrant, alive, and active. And during the pandemic @ygchurch showed out.
Generosity: In a year where there was notable economic hardship everywhere and financial fear abounded, you were faithful and generous in your giving to @ygchurch, empowering our ministry to move forward with momentum. Click here for a review YG’s 2020 financials.
Empowerment: In a year where changes were occurring moment by moment, @ygchurch had the dexterity to “roll with the pandemic punches,” and continue to innovate and engage younger generations in the mission of our ministry. Click here for just a few examples of the YG pivot.
Engagement: In a year where community health precautions limited meeting in person, @ygchurch was able to capitalize on having been on the digital landscape for over a decade. Options to meet online grew exponentially as did the worldwide scope of YG’s ministry. 2020 revealed to us that our young adults are mobile and global in “being Jesus, being YG.” Click here for some examples of how YG is overflowing Jesus into our world.
Partnerships: In a year where working together was so vitally needed, YG continued forming lasting partnerships with others including Adventist Young Professionals, Texas Young Adults, Growing Young Adventists, and Southwestern Adventist University to name a few. These partnerships fulfill the vision for @ygchurch, extending our visionary reach into both the real and digital world. Click here for some examples of our partnership endeavors.
Looking back at 2020, @ygchurch showed out.
