What Happens at Awaken Youth Service
The church website also informed members of what happens during their Youth Service. They said they include entertainment, music, snacks, and fellowship from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Because they desire to connect every young people with a leader and a new companion.
Then, they added that they have a service that has praise, worship, and games from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Youth would also have the chance to listen to inspiring preaching and an opportunity to pray for anyone who needs prayer. Afterward, they would have an afterparty from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m where the young people would play various games, dance, and fellowship.
As for their safety, the church stated that they had a background check and screening for every youth leader over 18 years old. They added that they have one leader for five to eight young people. They also hire an Off Duty Officer (ODO) for their security system. They assure parents that their top priority is their child’s safety.
Although their leaders are not babysitters, parents, or professionals, they are appointed to love and lead their youth, as noted on their website. They see them as coaches, representing how to live a life after God and make wise decisions.
During the said service, the church also plays music that everyone can relate to, but they guarantee that they do not play explicit songs. They added that their purpose for playing edited secular music is to find it easier to connect with the unbelievers. To some, the church is a new and inconvenient place, but when they play the music they are familiar with, they feel more at ease and open to being a part of their services.
