In the summer of 2005, Rehoboth's council decided to form a Youth Board comprised of seven individuals within the congregation. In 2006, the membership expanded to ten. The Youth Board created a future vision with two goals in mind:

Goal #1: Create a place...

• for youth to reach out in confidence to other within the church for support with their problems
• with a positive environment for youth to learn about Christ, mature, and accept responsiblity
• with great appeal for families with young children
• with a continuing flow of youth attending the various programs offered

Goal #2: Create an individual...

• whose faith has been strengthened
• who will go forth and proclaim the Good News
• with an attitude and trait of deep theological intellect
• with a passion for Christ
• who will not follow the prodigal-esque pattern of leaving the church after high school
• who consciously and intentionally seek to live Christian lives
