Meet Go Hard for Christ Youth Ministry!
In September 2009, Go Hard for Christ was born! Do you remember our old logo? |
The First EVER
Go Hard for Christ Youth Ministry flyer. This flyer was created by one of our very own youth, inviting other youth to come and join us for Wednesday night youth service. |
|
This ministry was started under the commission of our Senior Pastor, Dr. Bill Winston, out of obedience to the Lord. God has truly given us a purpose and a call to reach the young people of Chicago, and raise up an Holy Army for the Lord!
Go Hard for Christ began back in September of 2009. This ministry is a rebirth of the Living Word Christian Center Youth Ministry, and a reintroduction to life as a teen - living on fire for Jesus! We are not looking to "play church" or simply entertain young people, but to transform their minds and their lives through the power of the Gospel! There is a process of transformation that is taking place, and the end result will be young people that will be witnesses for the Kingdom of God, not only with their speech but with their lifestyles. We are honored to be in this position of influence where we can teach this generation how to truly rep the King of kings! See our vision & mission statement.

Go Hard Goes To Miami!!
When you mix missions, the beach, and friends, it's sure to be a memorable trip! First, we joined the youth ministry from Alpha & Omega Church and went on a four day youth camp retreat. Next, we had the opportunity to do community service, street evangelism, and visit an orphanage. |
