Philosophy of Ministry

Reality Youth seeks to both embody and equip families to live out the 5 Marks of a Jesus Follower:

Mark #1: A family sits with Jesus
Mark #2: A family serves like Jesus.
Mark #3: A family sings about Jesus.
Mark #4: A family studies about Jesus.
Mark #5: A family shares about Jesus.

2026 FALL INITIATIVE:

Reality Youth Families sitting together (1st & 3rd Sundays) during Sunday worship services (Mark #1), and taking sermon notes together for family discussion later that day (Mark #5).

2026 SPRING INITIATIVE:

4 Reality Youth Small Groups formed (2 HS/2 MS Groups) led by 8 Volunteers (married couples, ideal, and mature believers).
