Tony Akers, Minister to Youth & Their Families
My role at Trinity is helping our young people come to know Christ and grow in Him. We approach youth ministry through the lens of a discipleship pathway that we have developed called The ASCENT. The ascent helps our youth identify where they are on their journey with Christ and encourages them to takes steps to grow to the next level. Our ultimate desire for our youth is that they move from being “curious” about Christ to ultimately “contributing” their gifts to the ministry of Trinity and the world. We engage families in our ministry and our volunteer team is chocked full of incredible people who are willing to invest time in our youth through this discipleship process. Our ministry has elements of every ministry to youth-worship, retreats, service opportunities and fun but all these opportunities are aligned with our ultimate goal of developing young disciples for Jesus.
