a national magazine feature story about us!
 

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s Youth Ministry is described in various ways:
➢    Teens often comment  “Wow, this doesn’t suck at all!”  After awhile they see that our ministry is:  powerful, relational, practical, experiential and highly informal.
➢    Teens regularly use the same comment when they evaluate our events and programs – “More!”  They want more and longer retreats, more service, more mission teams, more leadership development, more worship, more outreach to friends.

➢    Parents have developed a long-standing trust that their teens are in good hands.  Parents also say that what their kids are experiencing is greatly beyond their experiences in church when they were growing up.
➢    Information is clearly given with open communication lines with parents.  This two way effort helps us meet the needs of the teens.

➢    Catholic leaders in the area say we use an effective “alternative” model of youth ministry.  We place high priorities in evangelism, discipleship, worship and outreach.  We use unconventional methods to reach today's teens, but it works!
➢    Protestant brothers and sisters like working with us, saying “You guys really get it! Maybe we need to rethink our thoughts about Catholicism.”

What makes us different?
➢    We’re Spirit led… that means we’re eagerly discerning God’s call: whatever, wherever and whenever!  We have great faith that where the Lord guides, the Lord provides.

➢    Love drives us outward…  'cause experiencing God's love in worship and vibrant community moves us out, loving our neighbors - near and far.
➢    We’re committed to excellence… ‘cause the teens deserve the best we can offer.  That means we constantly evaluate and search out more effective ways to reach teens for Christ.

➢    We provide a super buffet of growth possibilities, intentionally serving up experiences… that will affect people emotionally, provoke people to search deeply and encouraging people to apply the development to their daily lives to the benefit of their neighbors.
➢    We connect with other denominations… ‘cause we’re all part of the Body of Christ. What we gain from others will increase what we have.  What we give to others will elevate who we all are!  Plus, most teens today don’t know or care what denomination their friends are.  Isolated teens in a group don’t stay strong long.  But, if you get the whole group of friends for Christ, they will keep each other strong.
