Loving Relationships - Ultimately, ministry is all about loving relationships. Jesus said that our defining characteristic should be love for one another. Our ministry must be a place where our arms are wide open to love everyone God brings our way. If there is one thing we should be known for outside of our walls, it must be our love. (John 13:34-35; 1 John 4:7-16; James 2:1-9; Matthew 22:37-40).
Worship and Prayer - We believe that our ministry exists in and through the power of God and that we will deepen and grow through regular times of worship and prayer (James 5:13).
Equipping - We believe students are not the “Future of the Church,” they are the church of TODAY, and it is our goal to give them the tools to minister to people in their current stage of life (Eph. 2:10).
The Church - We believe that our ministry exists as one part of the Body of Christ and His Church (1 Cor. 12:12).
Family - We believe that healthy family relationships are critical for our students, and they (families) deserve our honor, value, support, and encouragement (Prov. 22:6.)
Dependence on God and His Word - Our ministry exists for God’s glory and purposes. It also will accomplish nothing of significance unless it is God’s work in us and through us. That is why we must submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all we do. We must depend on the Power and Direction of God’s Spirit to accomplish the work. We must be solidly grounded in the Authority of God’s Word as our final truth authority. And we must saturate our lives and ministry fully in Prayerful Dependence on Him. (1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 4:5; John 16:13-15; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
Evangelistic Pursuit - We believe that all students matter to God, and our goal is to reach them with the Gospel and lead them toward a relationship with Jesus Christ (Luke 15).God has called the church to be His tool for bringing lost people to Him. We are Christ’s ambassadors connecting people to God through Jesus Christ. We must relentlessly pursue lost people on behalf of God (2 Corinthians 5:17-20).
