OLYMPIA PRESBYTERY, WASHINGTON - "S.C.Y.N. is bridging the gap between unchurched youth and the church.
With only a handful of youth in its youth program, Shelton Presbyterian Church decided to grow this program by reaching out to unchurched youth. Since there were a large number of homeless teens and youth from broken homes in their community, church members decided to provide a place on Thursday nights where any youth would feel welcome. On Shelton Community Youth Night (S.C.Y.N.) there’s no Christian music, preaching, or organized prayer times. Instead there is a warm, home-style meal served in a place where youth can hang out and relax with a group of adults who accept them unconditionally and will offer to help them get what they want out of life."
