At SPG Youth we desire to grow in the Lord Jesus Christ with unity and commitment.
A Purpose-Driven Youth Fellowship is built around the five Purposes found in two popular passages in the Bible, The Great Commandment and The Great Commission. While the Five Purposes are described in several New Testament Verses, these two passages, relating the words of Jesus, summarize all the other.
The Five Purposes are found in these two passages:
1. Worship: “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart”
2. Ministry: “love thy neighbour as thyself”
3. Evangelism: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations”
4. Fellowship: “baptizing them”
5. Discipleship: “Teaching them to observe”
