Abstract

Churches usually focus primarily on people's spiritual lives. The mission of youth ministries is to foster a relationship with God among young people from an early age, but the church is called to do more because God cares holistically for his children. Wholely is a ministry that works with the academic, educational, and professional needs of students in Humboldt Park, Chicago, IL, providing them with monthly workshops that teach them life skills to prepare them for the future; mentorship from devoted leaders; inductive Bible study to learn what the Word says about them and what they are learning; a resource center to receive information to give back to the community; and prayer to develop a deeper and closer relationship with Jesus and understand his purpose for their lives. All of this is done with the goal of developing the characteristics of Community, Awakening, Resilience, and Engagement (C.A.R.E.).
