The Mentoring Ministry

Mission: To promote educational, cultural, personal and spiritual development of young people, ages 8-18, through one-on-one and group planned programs and activities.

Male and female volunteers are screened and trained prior to participating in the program. The Ministry matches youth with trained mentors, who instill Christian values and facilitate development of leadership skills. The Ministry fulfils its mission by administering the following programs:

AB Boys & Girls, Ages 8 – 13: In the community of faith, the AB Boys and Girls are nurtured and encouraged to develop all their gifts, to share with others and to serve God's world in Jesus name, through cultural activities and annual mission projects.

L.I.N.K.S (Learn, Implement, Nurture, Knowledge, Skills), Ages 14-18: Youth are equipped in making critical choices that affect their lives through mentoring and a curriculum on Personal Development, Church & Community, and Mission & Service.

Renaissance Debutante, Ages 14-18: The Ministry's most ambitious program to date is the Renaissance Debutante Program, an enrichment initiative that provides training for young ladies. The program provides debutants with an opportunity to develop Christian values, etiquette, social graces, self-confidence and explore cultural and career opportunities. The Renaissance Debutante Program is a true testament to the value of instilling positive images within young minds.
