Youth in Action (YIA) at the Renaissance Church of Christ in Atlanta, recognizes the importance of teaching our youth the value of building and having a real relationship with God. Through our programs and events, we are planting godly seeds to develop and harvest the leaders of tomorrow. We present God's word in a manner that is relation-based to ensure our youth are engaged and learning.
YIA works along side your family to support and enhance the spiritual growth of maturity of the young people in your home.
Purpose: To expose students to God’s love, to encourage students to share God’s word, to offer themselves in service to Christ, and to care for one another.
Goal: To Spiritually Empower Our Youth!
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Leadership: (L-R) David Bishop, elder; Warren Blakney, youth minister; Shelby Dunbar, YIA co-chair; P.J. Blakney, YIA co-chair; and Fred McKinney, YIA deacon; Shalonda Gipson, Kids Xperience coordinator.
