ComMISSION'd Youth Program

Philosophy of ComMISSION’d:

…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore GO and MAKE disciples of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
                                                                                                                Matthew 28:18-20

The Purpose of ComMISSION’d is to walk with youth as they:

Grow in their relationship to Christ (Eph: 4:15b)
Have a growing sense of call to serve (Eph: 4:12)         
Develop toward a mature thinking about life choices (Eph. 4:14)
Grow in their commitment to Christian community (Eph. 4:16)
