Program Format And Structure

Create small groups, more intimate groups where members can share personal struggles, celebrate wins, and support each other. Include discussions and workshops on issues like mental health, work-life balance, financial management, and ethical dilemmas in the workplace.

1. More Flexible and Convenient Activities: Young professionals often juggle work, family, and personal lives, so having more flexible scheduling for church activities and events would make it easier for them to participate. Maybe offering virtual Bible studies, evening events, or weekend retreats could help accommodate their busy schedules. 2. Relevant Topics and Programs: The church could address issues that directly impact young professionals, such as work-life balance, financial planning, career guidance, and personal relationships. By offering seminars or workshops tailored to these life stages, young professionals would feel more connected to the church's mission. 3. Mentorship and Networking Opportunities: Young professionals often look for career mentorship and networking. The church could offer mentorship programs that pair young professionals with experienced members who can offer career advice, spiritual support, and practical guidance. 4. Increased Role in Leadership: Giving them the chance to take on more significant roles can also make them feel more invested in the church community. 5. Inclusive and Relevant Worship Styles: While traditional hymns have their place, incorporating more contemporary worship styles could attract young professionals who may be more comfortable with modern music, multimedia, and other creative elements in worship. 6. Social and Networking Events: A relaxed, social atmosphere—such as after-church hangouts or community service events—can help young professionals build connections outside of formal church activities. These spaces could also foster conversations and deeper friendships that make the church feel more like a community. 7. Support for Mental Health and Wellness: Mental health and emotional wellness are vital for many young professionals. The church could offer support groups or counseling services for issues like work stress, burnout, and navigating life transitions.

In my opinion, since the influence of today's youth are on social media. Or even at the workplaces, the co-workers attitude and traits will always influenced the young adventist professionals, a simple bible sharing/ online bible study. A simple reminder to be a different to other, will make differences

Honestly, i cannot provide great ideas that could boost our purpose. But few things the mission must consider: 1. Engage in Meaningful Discussions on Relevant Topics of the society, addressing contemporary challenges young professionals face (mental health, work-life balance, financial planning, relationships, and career development) from a biblical perspective, create forums or programs where young people can openly share struggles and find practical solutions rooted in faith. 2. Provide Opportunities for Community Impact, shift the focus from internal church activities to external outreach, like community service, mentorship programs, and professional skill-sharing, motivate young professionals to use their talents in ways that directly impact their communities 3. Support Career and Professional Growth, offer networking opportunities, career coaching, and mentorship programs that connect experienced members with young professionals, organize workshops on leadership, entrepreneurship, and workplace evangelism.

AY program: giving emphasis to interpersonal relationships during AY through group sharing, discussions.

Local church should put different programs solely for YP's. For AY program may iba din sila pag-uusapan na mga topic concerning sa life nila as YP, mas ok din if nasa nature sila nagkakaroon ng small fellowship/gathering para maka refresh sila sa technology at business ng life.

As for me I would like to ask for a junior pastors to assists our young people and I think it would be very helpful for them to have to entrust their burdens and worries rather than posting on Social media. If I would be the pastor I like bring the youth in an occasion like hiking or nature study so that our youth can appreciate the beauty of God's creation.
