Igniting a Passion for People
Rob and Wendy Ivey head up the 17-30's team, with a Vision to see a growing number of those aged between 17 and 30 added and drawn into the life of the church.
How will this be achieved? Firstly, by the grace of God! We need to continually pray and ask God for His help and creativity in moving this vision forward, and the following:
- Creating opportunities to meet and mix with others in this age group – this will be achieved through projects such as Networking, Wilderness (our summer weekend camp), the Big Chill (our winter weekend away), Sunday Night Live - at Costa, Sports and various other social events.
- Encouraging a deepening relationship with God through committing to existing cells, Encounter weekends, Radical discipleship, Worship sessions, and other TVC Church organised training /discipleship activities.
- Showing people how to get involved in the life of the church – again through joining cells, serving, e.g. welcome team, kids, family events etc, giving, becoming members, and getting to know ‘family’.
- Encouraging and facilitating outreach and evangelism – through things like Costa Coffee – Sunday Night Live, supporting The Hour, Alpha Courses and other TVC Church outreach events.
- Identifying, training and releasing new leaders from this age group.
We are not looking to create a new or separate group, but rather to work with and support existing activities within this age group and by linking in with wider church activities. See the events section for more details and dates.
The 17-30's also works closely with TVC Church’s Student work across the two university campuses in Stockton & Middlesbrough.
So if you are between 17 and 30 and want to find out how to get more involved in any of the above or help serve into this, then please come and find us on our own Facebook Page or give us a call.
