How Will ALOVE Be Implemented At The Local Level?
First and foremost we recognise that many local youth groups already have a strong identity for their youth ministry. ALOVE is not trying to change that – local identities are developed, shaped and owned by local communities and we don’t want to enforce something upon that. Instead, the hope is that ALOVE will become an identity that resources, enhances and adds to what is being developed locally. Taking on the ALOVE identity at the local church level is a way of demonstrating that they are part of a new movement within The Salvation Army that exists to serve and empower a new generation throughout the country.
