If you want to know where the church is heading, spend some time with the youth. When you encounter the combination of energy, creativity, commitment and passion that tends to characterize those between 12 and 30, you just might start to see a glimpse of the future.

Nazarene Youth International (NYI) is driven by young people asking where God is working in the world, and finding ways to join in. Through discipleship, leadership development, compassionate work and myriad involvements in their local congregations, today's young people are actively supporting ongoing ministry and inspiring the church to find new ways of loving those around them.

Youth ministry isn't about doing things for young people. It’s about partnering with them as they grow. It's about seeking, learning and changing together. It's about affirming that the church has a future because the youth are part of it today.
