"Moving Forward Taking Territory"

Discipleship is an adventure, and one of the privileges of youth ministry is being able to walk with students on this amazing journey. We pray that the COGIO Youth & Discipleship programs, resources, training, etc. Will help you and your Church fulfill Jesus’ call to make disciples and help Christian teenagers live differently!

The Great Commission outlines how we are to do this, Matthew 28:19-20. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Our passion for Ontario Youth & Discipleship is to is to FINISH the Great Commission by Investing, Invading, and Increasing.

OUR GOALS


To provide resources for pastors, youth leaders, children’s leaders, young adult leaders, volunteer workers, or anyone interested in ministering to youth or children. Such resources can be found here or by calling our department.

To create other opportunities for resourcing and connecting come through our various ministries provided throughout the year for your local church’s youth and children’s ministry. ​Ministry events such as PowerZONE, Winterfest, Kid’s SONfest, Youth Camps, Youth & Children’s Leaders Training Seminars, Girls Clubs, Teen Talent, and Junior Talent are designed to positively impact you and your church.

We believe that God has called us to invest in the next generation of youth and to teach them the doctrines and disciplines of the Christian faith. To enable them to fulfill their God-given purpose and to ignite them with a passion. To love the lost, equip them for life, relationships, service and leadership."

    authorities.

    Children first see the picture of God’s love through the eyes of those they trust and respect. Girls Ministries can help fit the pieces together in life’s puzzle and plant seeds that will potentially lead a child to Christ. We must set godly examples with dedication, dependability, and a determination to bear the image of Christ. With God’s anointing, each mentor can be the key to the fuel that feeds the flame of salvation in a child’s life. You cannot kindle a flame within another’s heart until it burns within your own. Feed the flame and keep the fire burning BRIGHT.

    Children learn more from you than you realize...
    They learn how NOT to be reliable if you are often absent.
    They learn how NOT to be punctual if you are often late.
    They learn how NOT to care if you do not care enough to be prepared.
    They learn how NOT to be forthright when they hear you gossiping.
    Judge each day NOT by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant!
    “Train up a child in the way he (she) should go, and when he (she) is old
    he (she) will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
    “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts” Psalm 145:4
