Here at Elmont, our desire is to keep students involved in the Church from the time they are littles in the nursery to adults walking in their faith on their own. Typically, churches lose many of their students to other interests once they can drive. The students can feel like youth group is oriented to the younger people involved, they have too much on their plate to attend church, or simply find other things more interesting. They might intend to come back as an adult but church is no longer a priority. Once these students create a schedule for life that does not include church, it is difficult to get back to being involved. The goal of SLT is get high school students invested in the Church through allowing them space to have ownership of a piece of their ministry. We desire to teach them the importance of the Church, the truth that their involvement in the Church is indespensable, equip them with knowledge of where they are skilled for leadership and service, draw them closer to Christ, and train them to be servant-hearted leaders for life.
