More Information:
What is LOGOS?
LOGOS is the Greek word that literally means "The Word." In John 1:1-18, LOGOS is translated "Word"; "In the beginning was the Word...and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...." The LOGOS Ministry is a Christian organization that partners with congregations to develop an after school ministry in which adult leaders nurture youth into discipleship. This youth-oriented program has been found to energize congregations across the country.
What is LOGOS based on?
LOGOS is founded on the four key activities recorded in Acts 2:42: teaching, fellowship, breaking bread and worship. (Acts 2:41-42 So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three persons were added. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.)
Is LOGOS Presbyterian?
43 years ago a Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania began a mid-week program to teach and support their youth in Christian discipleship; and this grew into the LOGOS Ministry. The LOGOS Ministry today is not identified as Presbyterian per se, but is operating in 1,500 churches and 20 denominations (including many Presbyterian churches).
What is the LOGOS Golden Rule?
Everyone is to treat everyone else as a Child of God. No one has the right to treat anyone else as if they do not matter.
