ORGANIZATION MODULE
The organization Module presents the history and organization of
youth ministry in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The strong emphasis is on youth ministry based in the local church,
and not a ministry based on conference-organized activities. responsibilities of the leaders at
the local church level are also covered in this module.
LEADERSHIP MODULE

This module incorporates aspects of training and actual practice

of those activities required for senior leadership, and includes both
philosophical base and practical practices. emphasis is placed on
qualities of idea leadership, the psychology of leadership, leadership
styles and functions, and practical matters such as how to chair a
committee or business meeting.
COMMITMENT
The Commitment Module primarily revolves around those activities and programs that are
devotional in nature, and that provide for
special affirmation and celebration opportunities.
DESCIPLESHIP
This module deals with how to help youth become disciples and
stay committed to that way of life. extensive presentation on the
psychological aspect of youth leadership is given. Growth and nurture group leaders
specializing in the spiritual well-being of their
members will find resources in this module to accomplish all that
might be desired whether in youth or family situations. The ultimate objective is discipling
others to the Lord and equipping them
to share in this experience.
WORSHIP MODULE

11 | P a g e
Worship is not merely attending church. The religious exercise of
worship includes learning to live in God’s presence, and integrating
those things learned at church into one’s daily living. The purpose
of this module is to give youth leaders ideas to help Adventist young
people discover the joy of worship, and how to adopt a worshipful
spirit while attending church.
WITNESSING MODULE
Witnessing, the sharing of our own individual experience in the
Lord, is among the first and foremost ministries in which the disciple Christian will want to
engage.
in this module, we will discuss effective witnessing and how it might
be accomplished within the Adventist youth ministry.
FELLOWSHIP MODULE
This module is designed to guide youth leaders in finding resources
to help provide meaningful recreation for the Adventist youth ministry. Youth
must be guided to discover and take part in meaningful recreation,
in addition to learning how to deal with their leisure time. recreation and entertainment must
be defined and proper practices
that reflect the Adventist lifestyle adopted. This module will help
to provide answers to these needs.
SENIOR YOUTH PLEDGE
“Loving the Lord Jesus, i promise to take an active part in the work of the
Adventist Youth Society, doing what i can to help others and to finish the
work of the gospel in all the world.”
