Youth Quest Information

The primary focus of the National Talent Quest Ministry is to give our youth the opportunity to discover, develop and deploy their God-given talents and acquired skills for active ministry in fulfilling the Great Commission and thus glorifying God. This is a part of the renewed emphasis on spiritual gifts in our church. The secondary focus of the ministry is to provide a vehicle for the training of our youth in the following areas:

  • Discipline
    To compete and win on local, district, conference, or national level requires discipline to practice, practice, practice; discipline to be on time; discipline to memorize; discipline to work hard and do your very best.
  • Sportsmanship
    To compete against your friends requires the development of true sportsmanship: the ability to win with humility and charity, to lose with grace and dignity, and, if defeated, to rejoice with the winner and be glad for them.
  • Christian Values
    Each competitor must present talent which is "Christian" in its content. It must contain a "God-honoring" message or theme. This requires time evaluating and understanding the significance of a presentation.

STRATEGIES:

  • Provide opportunities for participation and competition at the local, district, conference and national levels
  • Provide national guidelines for competition at all levels
  • Provide constructive evaluation that encourages continued development of talents and skills
  • Encourage local and conference leaders to utilize the talents and skills of our young people in fulfilling the Great Commission
  • Provide opportunities for participation and competition at the local, district, conference and national levels
  • Provide national guidelines for competition at all levels
