Why "Kaleo" Youth?
About 10 years ago, someone in the church asked the youth group
"what is the name of your youth group?".
The only answer we could come up with was, "Youth Group".
In order to take ownership, it was decided
we would come up with a couple names,
and put them to a vote.
That's when we became "Kaleo".
Throughout the last 10 years the youth group
has seen changes, including the pronunciation of
Kaleo (kā-leo  to  kal-eh'-o).
But, why did we decide on Kaleo? What does it mean? 

In the Greek translation of  the Bible, the root word "kaleo" can be found over 100 times in the New Testament alone. Translated to English, kaleo means:
  1. to call
    1. to call aloud, utter in a loud voice
    2. to invite
  2. to call i.e. to name, by name
So, why are we Kaleo youth? We are called by name to know, worship, and serve God. Also, as a youth group it is our job to call aloud the good news of Jesus Christ and invite others to join us.
 
             "God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
                                                         
                                                        -1 Corinthians 1:9

all are loved and all are welcome!

Our Mission:

to create a community where all people can experience the love of God,
learn to follow Jesus together and selflessly love
our neighbors, our city and our world.
