1) Officers will no longer be called officers. We will change it to “Servant Leaders”. I believe that God has called each one of us to serve. Being a servant leader is to remind that Christ came to serve, and not to be served. Just the title of being an officer hints some major pride and arrogance in young and old people's minds.

2) Starting from upcoming year, no one in praise team will be able to serve as servant leaders and vice versa. This will help everyone to give more attention to their own responsibilities. No more overlapping.

3) Each committee will have a supervisor (one of the teachers) and a committee leader. The supervisor's job is not to direct what to do but simply make sure that all the responsibilities are being taken care of. Committee leaders will actually plan and execute all the responsibilities together with the members. The committee leaders will be part of servant leaders. During election, we will be electing class representatives. The old format of presidency is no longer valid. Each class representative will act as a coordinator for each class. They will be responsible for contacting members of each class, meditating suggestions, and representing that class during meetings. This role is almost like a small scale pastoral role. Class representative will be serving the class and their needs.

1) Worship Committee

Worship Committee will take care of all the functions that are involved in Sunday worship service. It will include duties such as:

a) Worship bulletin coordination (PC Projector operation)
b) ushering rotation for the youth group
c) offering plate setup
d) offering collection
e) setting up chairs
f) cleaning the place before and after worship (vacuum and taking out the trash)

2) Welcoming Committee

This committee will be divided into two groups basically.

a) Birthday Committee ? takes care of birthdays

- make birthday cards every week for the birthday that's due that week
- plan parties once a month (preferably first Saturday or Sunday of each month)

b) New Person Committee

3) Praise Team

This committee will no longer be just a praise team.

a) Putting together a song book for the youth group
b) Introduce new songs by making tapes and copy of the songs to the youth group ? don't just sing new songs
c) Take care of the praise time during worship and Saturday meetings
d) Take care of the equipments

4) Mission Committee

This group will also be divided into 2 groups:

a) Compassion Committee

b) Outreach Committee

5) Fellowship Committee

This group will plan all the fellowship events that can help to bring this youth group closer together. Remember, the word fellowship does not mean “having fun”. It means to deeply identify with one another.
- plan monthly fellowship events such as ski trips and home fellowships
- food preparation
- decorations
refreshments after the service if possible

My vision for the group is that the next generation of students will find their identity through Christ and in Christ alone. We are Koreans by the blood that we have received. We are also Americans by the cultural influences of this society. Most of us are also Christians by faith and religion. By combining these simple facts in significantly different order, we can be many different things at once. However, more than anything, we are Christians above all. The vision that I have for the students are to see that they find true identity and meaning in what God has to in store for them.

Some of us can identify ourselves as Korean-American Christians. This statement implies that our cultural heritage has more significance when defining the center of our belief system. Our cultural values override even the Christian values due to powerful identification as Koreans. Many will try to implement this even in churches by insisting on Korean “style” of Christianity. Whatever the Korean have done as part of their Christian faith is imposed on the younger generations as well. This might even be the case of cultural and generation gap. Too strong of emphasis on cultural values can disregard the Christian values.

Some of us might identify ourselves as American-Korean Christians. This statement makes it clear that once again the cultural values are the center of one's faith identity. “I am an American, therefore, I must be Christian according to the American way”. What is American way of Christian living anyway? What is Korean way of Christian living? Both statements of identification rule out the most important factor of developing healthy sense of Christian values.

We are Christians. We are not Korean-American Christians neither are we American-Korean Christians. We are simply Christians who are Koreans living in American society. The cultural backgrounds can influence and shape our values. It is inevitable. However, those things do not mark our identity. God is beyond culture, race, age, gender, class and sexual orientations. Our identification is that with Christ. Christ was not just a Jewish carpenter who was teaching the values of Jewish society and customs. He was not teaching even the laws of that particular society. He gives new insight into living. He gave us a new commandment. His new command is this: Love one another as I have loved you so that the world may know that you are my disciples. (John 13:34)

What is my vision for the group?
It's simple as the new command of Jesus:

1. To find God ? through biblical studies, activities (retreats, revivals, seminars, fellowship events, etc)
2. To seek God ? through a personal relationship God by the means of prayer and meditation through out one's life
3. To be transformed by God ? by the means of active obedience
4. To share God and offer God (in love and in truth) ? through the love that was shown through Christ Jesus
