March 23rd Washington Cathedral is launching an after school program for 7th-12th graders. Not only does this meet a relevant need for our society, it will be a place of hope for our youth and community. Students will come to be inspired by passionate volunteers who will be ready and equipped to teach everything from swimming, to art, to world history. As students are mentored and invested in, they will gain new hopes for their futures, and confidence in their day to day lives.
With the church standing behind the youth of our community, God is going to do great things in this generation. Students will know that coming to church is like being welcomed as a member of a family into a home. They can bring their questions about algebra, chemistry, and God to people who care and are willing to journey with them. They can develop skills in areas they might not otherwise get the chance, because there will be no cuts on our sports teams. This will be a safe place to learn and be inspired as we care for the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the students.
To make this dream possible please join our church in prayer for the youth of our community. Also, if you are interested in being a part of the after school program’s staff, please contact Becca White for more information (becwhite@spu.edu). We are excited to be a church offering hope to the youth of our community.
