By Elsa English


Worshiping in teens help to develop faith. However it has been difficult coming up with the most effective ways of involving these youths in worship sessions. The initiative to come up with reliable ways has been undertaken by church leaders, leaders of youth groups and the Christian school coordinators. This has been successful but how these ways are approached matters a lot and different ways have different impacts on the teens. Faith and worship has evolved to be very important in shaping the lives of these teens.

The coming together of school chapel team, youth ministries as well as churches is an effective way of trying to clarify and explore the important issues affecting the youngsters conviction. There are vital questions which need answers. The effect of this adoration on the life of a teen should be significant. In addition the involved parties should have a vision which concerns corporate adoration in the lives of these young people. Implications of them leading the worshiping should be brought forward.

By giving young individuals a chance to participate in the leadership roles in adoration services, they are transformed in a way. The teens have experience in leading worships through playing instruments, singing, leading prayers or reading, teaching meditation, serving as an altar boy or acolyte, being an usher as well as helping in collection of offerings.

There is a lot of improvement noticed from the teens who are involved in church activities, these include personal prayers, volunteering to work, reading of the scripture and increased church attendance. Their making of decisions has been based and influenced greatly by religious teaching. Their desire to let their commitments in conviction known has been evident and shown without any fears.

The church groups have taken the responsibility to clarify and explore the pressing issues on the youths in their growth in faith. By being part of praise band, or playing guitar, their conviction is in a big way enhanced. However, this cannot be relied on as a way of getting youths to adoration due to the fact that not all of them possess this the gift of music. Seclusion of those lacking the gift happens hence part of them is left behind.

Faith formation in young persons is enhanced by allowing them to be involved in most of worship areas, may it be corporate adoration together with the rest of the church congregation or in youth groups. To be healthy and active members of a church in future, they need to take up leadership responsibilities.

To make these young people active and successful in the leadership roles, more efforts are required to qualify them to meaningfully serve the church. These youngsters need to understand why we adoration, how and the main purpose of worshiping. Adults get an important chance to mentor them as they engage in planning and studying of adoration.

In conclusion, it has been noted that teens who lead in worships build up a strong community with God as well as with others. These kind of experiences help in empowering other youths on living for Christ. Through worshiping there is articulation of faith and this happens to be the major step to faith formation.
