New name for Sr. High youth

This year, we are changing the name of our Sr. High ministry. The reason is simple, the name MYF, is easily misunderstood by young people we are reaching out to. The name MYF stands for Mennonite Youth Fellowship. While our teaching is thoroughly Anabaptist and consistent with the Confession of Faith from a Mennonite Perspective, the purpose of our group is not focused on Mennonite Youth, but sharing Jesus with anyone who will listen and discipling students that are present and part of our gatherings. At the same time, our goal is not simply to gather youth, Mennonite or otherwise, for fellowship. While fellowship is a part of what makes any group a real community, it is not the purpose of our gatherings. The purpose is learning to follow Jesus together.

The new name for our Sr. High ministry is Soulfuel. Click here to learn "What's in a name?" If you still call our Sr. High ministry MYF, not a problem! This is just a heads up when you read The Weekly or other church publicity that references Soulfuel, not MYF.
