• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I have posted this before on a different thread but seeking some fellowship and input. I will try my hardest to keep this thread introduction not so long for that seems to be the trend on here lol.

Myself I am 31 years old serving in the US Army and has been in the service for over ten years. I love God with all my heart I love serving his children, as well as serving with the youth ministry with a passion. I love hearing and spreading the Gospel with the youth as well as throwing down some sports as well. When the Youth Program started it was amazing the fire was hot, and we had our first meeting as members with the youth ministry on planning out events for the Kids as well as letting them vote on a name FUSION :).

The cross road I am sitting at I believe is lately there has been no more meetings only the one. And when I have brought it up to my pastor on when the next meeting is, I always get the we haven't decided yet but they have already had countless main board meetings more than the youth has ever had. I love my church family but my spirit has felt sad with feeling as if the youth has been put on the back burner, as in they are already canceling youth nights at church because of a guest speaker evening teaching, and I have also brought forth ideas that I would go and seek information at this camp site here at our base and if they were interested I could submit the information to the pastor for approval and dates for the kids to have the ability to go and fellowship and camp.

I posted the idea on the church social media page my good friend told me to text it in the group text with the youth team members. So all excited I texted it out and no responses not even from our pastor, So I am literally in a cross road my heart feels to leave it be and sit back and not say anything anymore about meetings, or even bring forth any ideas. I will pray and seek God for more advice but seeking if this is me or not?

well if you didn't receive a response back from the youth, maybe camping isn't what they are looking for ... perhaps ask them (the youth) what and how they would like to pursue their walk with the Lord through the church. Get their ideas and if appropriate pursue them and then get the board onboard with those.

God Bless.

Exactly we have brought up lock ins and the kids have been hyped for that idea. But what I am getting at is the fact there has been more board meetings then actual sit down with the youth ministry team members for ideas or projections.

hmmmm .... well how about you and the youths organize and have your own meeting(s) and invite the board, they don't show up that's ok ... youth decides and put it down what they want to do in writing and submit it to the board .... you'd be surprise once something appears in writing how more quickly people will respond. ;o)

God Bless.
