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
