Vision
To see Jesus become the home for youth who need to know they belong.
Mission
We minister to youth by reconciling who God is with who we are with focus on identity, sexuality, and daily life. Through intentional Christ centered relationships, our mission is to make more and stronger disciples in youth by letting Christ love us in our depression, anxiety, sexual confusion, eating disorders, and addiction.
Statement of Faith
THE BIBLE
We believe that “men were moved by the Holy Spirit” to write the very words of Scripture in the original manuscripts. Because of this divine guidance, the original writings were without error. We believe that the only proper way to understand the Bible is to interpret it in all its parts literally and apply it by faith.
THE TRINITY
We believe that God eternally exists in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that these three persons constitute One God, the sole source of life and purpose, One divine Being, not three. Each divine subsistence possesses the same essence and attributes of deity, each retaining His unique characteristics described in the Bible. Though the persons are distinct, they are One God.
MAN
We believe that every man is an image bearer of God being created in His image and is placed into this world to seek God in Whom we move and exist and have our being. While living by sin results in death, man has the ability in Christ to walk by faith and by-pass the influence of sin. Thus man must live by faith in order to please God.
SALVATION
We believe that salvation from sin and Satan is a gift from God offered by His grace. This gift is received by man through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone whose blood was shed as the satisfaction for sin so that man might live through Him.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit of God and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God the Father and redeem sinful man. We believe that Jesus Christ was crucified, died on behalf of sinners, and was buried. On the third day, He rose from death to share His life with whoever trusts in Him. He is now in heaven, exalted to the right hand of God the Father, where, as our High Priest, He is our intercessor and advocate.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who possesses all the attributes of God. He is the third person of the triune Godhead. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin and manifests Christ through the life of His faith-filled followers. We believe that He baptizes each believer into the Church, the body of Christ, and seals the believer as a possession of God. He illuminates the application of Scripture to the believer and empowers him to live a life pleasing to God. He bestows spiritual gifts to the believer for his work of the ministry within the body of Christ.
THE CHURCH
We believe that there is only one universal Church of Jesus Christ. Everyone who believes in Jesus has been placed into the Church, called the Body of Christ. We believe that the local church is God’s ordained ministry for the present age. We believe that the two ordinances of the local church are water baptism of believers and the observance of the Lord’s Supper.
