WHY??    Mission Statement  (Why We Exist)

To assist and encourage churches in bringing young people into life changing encounters with Jesus Christ helping to prepare them for a life of service.

WHAT??     The Vision  (What We’re Trying To Accomplish)

To assist and encourage rural churches in making successful youth ministry possible in their local settings through collaborating with other ministry recourses.

To provide for metropolitan youth ministries a rural home missions opportunity that assists them in preparing students for a life of service as lay or full time Christian leaders.

To assist lay leaders and pastors in the rural church to build solid Biblical youth ministry programs.


HOW??      Goals  (Specific Steps)

To cast a vision for and oversee a partnership type relationship between a youth pastor and a rural church volunteer (or pastor). This would set in place the possibility for encouragement through the running of a ministry camp and the sharing of resources in order for the rural church to have a more focused and effective youth ministry.  This would also provide the sending church with a practical way to develop its ministry skills with its students.

To provide youth ministry materials, resources and training seminars which will enhance the effectiveness of youth leaders.

To develop a mentoring and consulting ministry for the purpose of ministering to youth leaders for success and longevity in youth ministry.
