Youth Department Ages 17 And Under

Hello,

My name is Imani Johnson-Young and I have been blessed with the charge of being the Youth President of the National Baptist Deacons' Convention. I come from the wonderful Gethsemane Baptist Church in Newark, NJ where Pastor, Reverend Kenneth Young Sr. is my shepherd. Although I am only 15 years old, I strongly believe that I have a calling over my life to be a great leader, but one of the strongest qualities of being a leader, in my opinion, is to be a good servant. In my church, I serve in the youth choir, praise dance ministry, youth ministry and volunteer with the women's ministry. The National Baptist Deacons' Convention provides a national community where people that believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior can come together to worship and fellowship together. I have been a part of this organization for almost a decade and I have had the opportunity to make friends from all over. Together, we participate in community service events, state to state competitions, and major field trips. Being a part of this organization is truly worth the relationships you build, the knowledge of the Word you gain as well as the experience you get from traveling to different parts of the country. If you're looking for a group of people to laugh and grow with as well as worship God and fellowship with, welcome to the National Baptist Deacons' Convention!

Sincerely ,

Imani Johnson-Young ,

National Baptist Deacons' Convention
