“AND WE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR WORKS”

Christian Rites of Passage
To provide Cascade UMC a biennial Debutante & Beau Ball celebrating the recognition of Christian leadership.

PURPOSE

GOALS
Via the 12 Christian Rites of Passage -
Self-Providing our youth biblically based Christian principles (stepping stones), where they will be able to use these principles in every day life situations transitioning from one life stage to another; blossoming from giddy teens to respectable and responsible young adults.

Community-Strengthen community awareness and cultural growth through personal association activities.

Family-Communicating to all levels at Cascade the value of a program where, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and youth are excited about working together to a common goal; transforming youth to responsible Christian leaders of tomorrow, with spirit,  truth and budding wisdom.

Titus 3:8

“Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart”.
