PURITY CLASS
Youth working together in harmony and love to lift each other up in Christ and to lead a holy and separated life in God.
The Southside Church of God in Christ welcomes all teens and young adults between the ages of
13-19 to be a part of the Purity Class. The Purity Class wants to reach the youth through the love of Jesus. Working together and being there for each other is our goal. We want to keep values through Christian living and guide our youth during all stages of life. We have great things in store for our youth and we hope you will be a part of this wonderful ministry.
History
The Purity Class is an auxiliary of the Women's Department of the Church of God in Christ. It was founded in 1926 by the late Mother C.J. Johnson. The aim of the Purity Class is to help keep in focus the true values of good morals, high standards of living, Christian virtues and to discourage all forms of behavior that violate true Christian worship.
Purpose
Through the Purity Class, puritans (ages 13-19) will have the opportunity to learn social graces, courtesy, manners, money management and practical reactions to life's experiences.
Purity Prayer
Lord, for tomorrow and its need, I do not pray
Keep me from every strain of sin, just for today
Let me no wrong or idle words, unthinking say
Set thou a seal upon my lips, just for today
Purity Creed
Creed Creed....
Let, therefore, Purity Reign
In the heart of every boy and girl
or Mister and Miss Purity
Let purity Rule
Let purity Govern
Let it be your inner-most being
