We believe that our
children are born with an understanding of our creator and a deep longing
for His love. But as they grow under many influences and pressures they
are “talked out” of believing in Him. To this end we must, “carpe diem”,
seize the day of opportunity to reinforce what our children intuitively
understand so that over time the world’s influence will not slowly erode
this belief. We must give wings to their young faith.
…he hath set the world (eternity) in
their heart (Eccl 3:11)
…that which may be
known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For
the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power
and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (Rom 1:19-20)
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Prov 22:6)
Our goal for our
young adults is to reinforce, and for some restore, a sense of excitement,
expectation, and promise in meeting and relating to the wonderful God of
all creation and His incredible redemption plan.
We purpose to
challenge their minds helping them turn their beliefs into convictions,
prepare them to guard their hearts, to dream big dreams, to develop godly
character, and to serve their families and community with love, joy, and
peace as they bring glory to God.
We intend to impart
this training through specialized interaction with adult leaders who have
experienced and can identify with the frustration, anxiety, and worry they
might be going through. These leaders will engage their souls and spirits
with encouragement and hope. The transition from the teenage years to the
adult years is tough especially in our current culture. That’s why they
need people they can turn to and trust, people who can give them good
direction and the kind of fun that helps them to keep things in
perspective.
Our Mission Statement:
Each young adult is
a precious gift from God. We are committed to equipping and encouraging
them to live godly lives in a sin soaked world. We believe in preparing
their hearts to have a meaningful and personal relationship with the
Lord through worship, the study of God’s Word, community service,
short-term missions, and special retreats all for His glory.
Let no man
despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Tim 4:12)
