The mid 20th century saw the influx of students to Dimapur Town in search of better and higher education. But the church had no ministry dedicated especially for these youngsters. Moreover, many young people just wasted their precious time in useless gatherings and celebrations. Seeing this sad situation the then Pastor Lt. N. Tatong (Changki), taking much hardship gathered the youth under the name C.E. with Mr. Imnanükshi as its first President and organised evening service every Sunday; this was the year 1966.
The youth was organised under the motto, “To bring out the Ao youth from worldly living & ways and help them through teachings from God’s word.” And under that motto the Youth Department carried out projects and ministries to bring the young people closer to God, thought the initial years were not all that smooth sailing in terms of response.
The Youth department finally got affiliated to ACYE (Ao Christian Youth Endeavour) in the year 1975 which remains to this day. However, the need for a full time staff to oversee and supervise the department gathered momentum and finally in the year 1977 Mr. Taku Longkumer (Changtongya) was appointed as the first Youth Director.
The Youth Ministry is one of the departments of the Dimapur Ao Baptist Church and it is headed by the Youth Director, Mr. Jongshimanen Jamir. The Ministrial office is assisted by four General Office Bearers (voluntary) namely the President, the Vice-President, General Secretary and Assistant General Secretary. They make binding decisions and look after all the youth affairs.
There are officially recognized 10 fellowships which functions under the supervision of the General Office. Each fellowship consists of two fellowship Office Bearers. They manage the youth and youth related programmes in their respective fellowships. Again, each fellowship has its members divided into Houses and Clubs (Cadet Club, Crossroad Club and Crusader Club) with elected leaders respectively.
The General Office’s functions include dispatch of information, delegation of works and making recommendations for proper working of all member fellowships. The fellowship Office bearers are responsible to the General Office on all matters related to youth. The General Office and the ten fellowships work hand in hand to accomplish the common goal of bringing the youth together under the church ministry.
Each fellowship Youth Ministry has an Advisor, to advise and guide the young people. Adding to that there are a total of 10 Youth Coordinators one each for the 10 fellowships with the main purpose of evangelism among the youngsters. The ministry also has two Deacon Representatives and 3 Executive members.
