 Youth Mission Statement

WHO WE ARE:

A unique community of students and leaders committed to letting God

  • Change our lives
  • Change our friends' lives
  • Build the church
  • Impact the world
OUR VISION:
  • To bring Gate City and the surrounding communities to Christ
OUR MISSION:
  • To seek the lost, bring them to Jesus, and grow together becoming fully devoted followers of Christ
OUR MINISTRY DESIRES:
  • To have a purpose-driven ministry that follows our vision and mission (Ephesians 4:12-13)
