Mission

The salvation of youth through Jesus Christ. We understand youth ministry to be that work of the church that is conducted for, with, and by young people.

Aim

The Advent message to all the world in my generation.

Motto

The love of Christ constrains me.

Pledge

Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part in the youth ministry of the church, doing what I can to help others and to finish the work of the Gospel in all the world.

Members

Members are young people aged 16 to 30 who have committed to supporting the Adventist Youth Society by attending and participating in meetings and activities. This responsibility must not be taken lightly, because the mission of the Adventist Youth Society cannot be fulfilled without the full involvement of its members. The first members of the Gilmore AY Society were Samona Weller, Cherlange Frederic, and Roberto Colon. We agreed that five girls and five boys would be needed in order to start regular weekly meetings.
