What is OHANA? OHANA Youth Ministry is an ecumenical and multicultural community youth group based out of St. Mark's Aurora. OHANA stands for: Object Hate And Nurture Acceptance. In a world of differences where people can’t seem to find their own worth, let alone see the worth and humanity in others, this is a space where young people feel welcomed, worthy, and are taught how to be accepting of people who are different from themselves. The gospel is what guides us on this journey!
We have youth that identify as Latine, African, Black, Indonesian, Native American, and Anglo/ White. They go to different schools and churches throughout the area, some are "un-churched", but they are one youth group learning how to be one in their community no matter their race, religion, disabilities, gender, or sexuality. We have received an award in the past from Families Forward for our participation in the community through service and giving back! |
