What is WOW? WOW stands for Word On Wednesdays. WOW is Faith's mid week ministry for children, youth and adults. This year, WOW has activities for preschoolers through 8th grade, plus classes for adults. Senior youth can participate as helpers. Today's Culture...Today's Church: The culture in which we live continues to pose significant challenges for youth and families. The fast-paced world, at risk behaviors, and the complexities of managing relationships gives the church a tremendous opportunity to minister to homes of all shapes and sizes. What are young people seeking? Purpose, direction and guidance. How do we reach young people who are being driven by the culture into at-risk behaviors? Through Christian relationships, in the WOW program, young people and adults discover they belong to God. As they live in Christian community and grow in their faith, they find direction and purpose to their lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. WOW is the theology and practice of Christian relationships in a disciplined, mid-week, four-part context:
