Our Purpose
Our youth ministry exists to honor God by reaching those who don't know him, connecting them with youth who do, helping them to know God better and discover how they can honor God with their lives.
Reaching: We want to reach out to the community and world around us and say we think you are worth knowing, and valuable. Why? because that is the way God sees you and I, and that is the way we want to live!
Connecting: It would be pretty stupid to say you are cool and valuable and then leave! We want to get to know people well, who they are and let them know who we are. So we open up and let people in.
Know: Well, the person we want to know the most is God, no offense to you, but he has done so much for us that we can't resist giving him so much attention. So we try and connect with him the best we can, learning as much about him as we can, and letting him see all of us!
Discover: Because we know God created us with an identity and destiny, we want to discover what that is. We want to use the gifts and talents he has given us to enrich our lives, the lives of others and bring enjoyment to God (like a dad enjoys seeing his kids use the gifts and talents he teaches them).
Honor: The first four things get summed up in this; we want our lives to honor God, our creator. So we make sure that everyone around us, who gets to know us, can see that we know God, and it has dramatically altered how we live life, and that they can have that too!
