OUR CORE PILLARS
OUR CORE PILLARS
Encounter
As shown in the life of St. Paul, the Christian life begins with an encounter of the love and mercy of the Word Incarnate. Thus, OYP’s work begins with meeting people where they are, and bringing them to Jesus.
Discipleship
The crucial next step is to respond to Jesus’s invitation to “Come, follow me.” OYP helps young people grow in what it means to follow Jesus, and encourage them to make the changes in their lives required of a disciple of Jesus.
Communion
Being a disciple of Jesus necessitates the discovery of our unique place in the Body of Christ – His church. OYP emphasises an ecclesial spirituality, and facilitates both individual and corporate expressions of being church.
Mission
The consequence of our communion has to be a united effort to “go and make disciples of all the nations”. Our walk with Jesus culminates in a desire to proclaim the Kerygma. OYP facilitates and empowers young people to partake in the mission of the church.
