World of Faith Outreach Ministries used Pastor Kimberly Bost’s 18th anniversary celebration to debut its praise team’s first performance. The praise team is one of our Christianity-based summer programs for children.
Every summer, parents are faced with the dilemma of leaving their children unsupervised or paying an exorbitant amount of money to find safe, supervised activities for their children while they are at work. World of Faith is aware of the need for such activities and is addressing that need with a roster of events such as praise dancing, a step team, day camp activities and job training, all supervised by adults.
“The youth ministry is designed to help teens and adolescents come together and grow spiritually, to enhance and fulfill what God has for their lives,” said Sharita Carter, one of the coordinators of the praise team.
“World of Faith Youth Ministry helps teach morals for a blessed life, strengthen self-esteem as they continue to grow into responsible leaders. We also help with money management skills as to raising their own funds as a group for activities. We participate in community church functions, praise dancing,praise and worship, arts and crafts and other gospel influenced activities.”
Bishop Kevin Bost explained that these activities are in line with the church’s mission statement, which includes a vision to provide jobs for youth, to bring youth together in unity and to take back the city with love, not with fighting or violence.
Bishop Kevin Bost and his wife, Pastor Kimberly Bost, are the leaders of the church and have been active in the community and the church for 18 years. Being parents themselves, they are greatly aware of the problems that parents face during the summer months and have taken it upon themselves to address this matter. They provide Christian guidance in a light-hearted and fun way that people of all ages can understand.
These activities are open to members and non-members alike and are free of charge.
The church is located at 7600 Cottage Street.
