Greetings to you in the name of the Lord! I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with you, as together we impact this generation for Christ!

We are living in a challenging time for ministry. Our young people have more "faith choices" today than ever before. No longer will young people automatically adopt the religious belief of their parents; they must be convinced of the truth. And with so many different religious systems available to them, the choice can, at times seem very unclear. That is why our efforts must be streamlined and effective.

The objectives for the State Youth and Christian Education Department are as follows:
  • To provide ministry resources to the local church.
  • To provide ministry projects that will mobilize the local church to fulfill the Great Commission.
  • To provide ministry events that will impact this generation for Christ.
  • To provide ministry training that will assist local church leaders in their efforts to develop productive disciples of Christ.
With this in mind, we have developed a program that will help you accomplish your ministry goals. This website should provide you with important information that will help you as you plan events for your young people.

I stand ready to assist you in any way that I can. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at our office. The telephone number is 304.252.0622 extension 3. You may also reach me by email at director@cogwv.org.

W. Robert Baker, State Director
