"Tidal Wave" Mission Statement
1. Disciple youth in a devoted and growing relationship with
Christ (including personal and corporate prayer, worship and Bible study), that
brings about transformation in their own lives, and ripples out to affect
others.
2. Teach a Biblical world view, and train young people to
live it out daily and defend it readily.
3. Identify, encourage and develop, youth in their gifts,
talents, and callings; giving them opportunities to use and grow in their
gifts, not only at youth meetings but also in outreach and the corporate church
setting. Multiplying by mentoring and passing on skills that we have to the
next generation.
4. Raise up leaders who will turn the tide of cultural
degradation both now in their current sphere of influence, and on into the
future becoming "repairers of the breach and restorers of streets to dwell
in." These leaders will grow in integrity, character and purity, to become
godly leaders in business, media, education, politics, ministry and as
leaders of their own families.
5. Inspire young people to be lights in the world, ready and
equipped to share their faith and bring in the lost not only in their everyday
lives but also in evangelistic outreach and missions.
6. Take back and use audio/visual media, dance, drama, arts,
and music both to glorify and worship God and to reach the people He so loves.
7. Bring the love and power of Jesus Christ to the broken
that they may be saved, delivered, healed, and restored. Create accountability
relationships that will help them walk in victory over sin.
8. Connect with other Christian ministries to promote unity,
and ignite revival and revolution in our generation.
9. Create a safe and fun atmosphere where young people can
build strong, healthy Christian friendships, laying a godly relational
foundation for the rest of their lives.
10. Support and encourage the parent/teen relationship
during these often difficult years.
11. Teach young people the importance of Christ-like servant
hood by involving them in other ministries around the church (Children’s Church
helpers, Clothing Ministry, Worship etc.)
