Evangelism & Discipleship
We are committed to taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all young people and always seek to do so with urgency, using the most culturally acceptable means. We are further committed to provide a ministry of discipleship for each new believer, and to work in partnership with others who desire to accomplish the same mission.

Scripture
We are committed to the Word of God as the foundation and final authority for life and ministry. We discipline ourselves to study it diligently, apply it daily, and teach its truth to young people.
-
Prayer
We are committed to pray and fast for the salvation of lost young people and for the empowerment of God’s Holy Spirit in taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them.
-
Church
Believing that the Church is the expression of the body of Christ, we are committed to working in partnership with the local church in fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.

People
