Why Do We Do A Youth Choir Tour?
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” - John 20:21
All throughout the New Testament, we see the pattern of believers receiving the gospel and then proclaiming it to others. Each gospel concludes with some version of Jesus commanding his disciples to go forth and preach the gospel to the world (Mt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15; Lk. 24:46-47; Jn. 20:21).
We all have that same calling on our lives today. As we are called to love God and to love others, one of the primary ways we do that is by pointing others toward the hope of the gospel— the good news that our glorious God has graciously saved us through Jesus Christ.
WHAT WILL YOUTH CHOIR TOUR LOOK LIKE ?
We will have multiple opportunities to sing at multiple locations including nursing & retirement homes, homeless shelters, correction centers, and even the Biltmore Estate! Each of these opportunities provide different and unique experiences in Music and Worship Leadership giving students the opportunity for tremendous growth.
Our students will be challenged in some areas as they sing in some difficult (but yet, very safe) situations, giving them a new view of how they can live for Jesus Christ. Every morning there will be a 45-minute morning devotion time, and during team time we will process everything that God is teaching. In addition to several team building activities, mixed in with a little bit of fun, our students will be in a place to grow spiritual disciplines that lead to deeper discipleship.
Commitment Statement for Youth Choir Tour?
We believe that God honors a commitment, and commitment is a major requirement for leading. This means TIME and PRAYER invested in preparation, in people, and in service, all seeking to glorify God. It means SERVING and being willing to LEARN and GROW at Great Bridge Baptist Church.
FAITHFULNESS
Be faithful in the ministry of Great Bridge Baptist Church, my studies, and my relationships with God and others so that my life, along with my team, will be a witness of integrity and credibility for Christ to all those whom I come into contact with while serving and leading.
TIME
Invest the time and effort to develop, participate in, and pray for the ministry and my team.
REHEARSALS & MEETINGS
Attend Youth Choir Rehearsals and trip meetings as notified. If I consistently miss rehearsals/meetings/youth group/church, I forfeit the opportunity to participate on the Youth Choir Tour but will be required to fulfill financial obligations.
ACCOUNTABILTY
Be kept accountable for the above responsibilities by Pastor Chris and Pastor Harry and other adult leaders and teammates, as well as keep team members accountable for their responsibilities and commitments.
