World Community

World Community: Discipleship Development for Youth World Community is designed for three different age levels: Light of the World, for eight years of age and above; Path of the Disciple, for youth eleven years of age and above; and Exploring Community Together, for those fifteen years of age and above. Young people—disciples or friends of the Community of Christ—have the opportunity to deepen their discipleship through completing and documenting creative projects and service activities. Students accomplish this through the creation of a portfolio/scrapbook demonstrating their involvement in the life of the church and the community with the assistance of an adult mentor. (Levels for children and youth.) For more information and downloadable resources, visit http://www.cofchrist.org/OnlineResources/WorldCommunity/worldcommunity.asp.
