Greetings,
We are EXCITED to share that over the last 10 months the Garfield
County Christian Youth Program (GCCYP) has made some astounding progress. We
have established a Board of Directors, became incorporated with the State of
Washington in May, and submitted necessary paperwork for a 501c3 Non Profit
status with the IRS this very week!
God has been so intricately involved in this progress it has been amazing
to see. God brought people
together with a love for youth and each one gifted in an area to help move the
youth program forward. God is SO good!
The youth program has reached the point where we are actively
searching for a permanent facility in town that will provide program visibility,
as well as support our program goals, objectives, and activities.
We feel very strongly that
the youth program needs its own space in town. There are two buildings on Main Street
that we are looking into as possible rentals. A building in town will allow us
to have a visible presence in the community, opening up the opportunity for
after school hours for a fun, safe place to hang out and play games, organize
community functions and activities to serve our community, and space for our
weekly meetings. We currently meet Thursday evenings for High School Bible
Study and Sunday evenings for youth group grades 6 – 12.
The youth program has monthly activities along with the weekly
meetings. We offer a fun atmosphere with games and other social activities as
well as the teaching of God’s Word to help youth with everyday practical
application in their lives. We
have attached a brochure about some of our monthly activities. We
are also strategizing ways for our youth to “give back” by way of service to our
community. As the youth program
continues to grow we will continue to add more activities and outreach
ministries. There is a big desire
within the youth program to implement many outreach activities to help, improve,
support, and bless the community.
Some of those ideas are spending time up at Memory Manor with the
residents, assisting the elderly in their homes with yard work, helping boys and
girls to be a healthy member of our community as they grow up, and many more!
Look for these outreach efforts to begin in
2014.
The youth are the future of this community and our country. We
pray that you will come along side us in prayer and financial support to be a
part of what God is doing in this youth program and
community.
