A little background . . .
For more than 45 years, LOGOS has partnered with local churches in a ministry to children and youth that is based upon the spiritual intent of the early Christian church as expressed in the Bible’s book of Acts. As a result, many LOGOS weekly ministries are composed of four parts that are integrated within a nurturing environment of Christian relationships. The four parts of the LOGOS weekly ministry model are:
Multi-Part Ministry Model
Bible Study - Bible study nurtures youth and children into intelligent, obedient, and biblically-informed discipleship. In grade level groups, each LOGOS class uses a curriculum that is designed to meet their unique needs and learning capabilities. We have developed Faith for Life2 to be a powerful Bible study resource for any weekly LOGOS ministry.
Worship Skills - Worship is essential and central to the Christian community. In Worship Skills young people learn about worship and prepare to lead in the Sunday morning service of worship. This is typically done through singing, bell, or speaking choirs, drama, or movement and dance.
Recreation Play – Recreation Play allows LOGOS young people to experience great fun at the expense of no one else. They participate in games and active play, do crafts, or experience the hobby or special interest of a member of the congregation. When we reveal ourselves in play, we strengthen friendships, and when conflicts occur, we practice our Child of God theology.
Family Time - Family Time provides a joyous, intergenerational celebration of personhood over a shared meal as LOGOS young people experience being part of the family of God. Young people are assigned to tables along with one or two adults who act as "table parents." The group around the table becomes a family as they share meals together throughout the year. Food is served family style. Conversation is purposeful. Life is celebrated!
