BOLD Youth Ministry

WHAT IS BOLD?

More than a name....

Becoming Our Lord's Disciples

BOLD is more than just a brand- it is a specific philosophy and structure of youth ministry.

Mission Statement:

BOLD exists to expose teens to God's love, promote a life of service to Christ, and provide a place for teens to enjoy each other's company.

Primary Goal:

To aid young people in building a personal relationship with Christ through Catholic formation, support, prayer, and the Sacraments.

PHILOSOPHY

Youth Ministry

BOLD is a youth ministry program, not a “youth group”

■ YM is not an exclusive group, but rather is a parish ministry to all youth.
■ YM has a balance of spiritual, service, and social events.
■ YM is integrated into the entire life of the parish community.
■ YM is welcoming, outreaching, and relationship forming.
■ YM builds its own identity and momentum.
■ YM has leadership teams and gives ownership to its members.
■ YM includes retreats, service opportunities, recreation, bible studies, youth ministry nights, and more.

Who Is In The Youth Ministry?

Every teen in the parish is in Youth Ministry.  Our goal is to engage each and every teen in the parish in some way over the course of their years through middle school and high school

WHY BOLD?

Successful Youth Ministry:

■ BOLD is a dynamic, growing, and constantly improving model for youth ministry.
■ BOLD’s structure has been refined over the last 15 years and is unique in the way it engages its participants and volunteers.
■ Along with the expertise of Fiat Ventures, BOLD includes proven and time tested programs and events. 
■ BOLD’s reach is profound:
• Impacting thousands of young people’s faith formation
• Supporting families in raising teens in contemporary  culture
• Building community life within parishes
• Forming lasting edifying relationships
• Providing life changing service opportunities, retreats,  and other events.

Bigger Than One Parish:

 ■ The ability to interact with youth from other parishes who have a similar youth ministry program is both efficient and encourages youth to feel a part of the greater Church.
■ Collaborative events allow new and smaller youth ministry programs to be able to provide and participate in events not normally viable for them.
