"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.)
